When Jesus tells us to come to Him, the foundational quality He’s offering is peace with Him. Without peace with God, there can be no other peace anywhere else in our lives. Absent peace with Him, we will never experience His brand of love, joy and goodness.

The Voice from the box at Wendy’s freaks me out.  I don’t know that voice.  I don’t know what that voice might say. I certainly don’t trust that voice.  But I know the voice of my God through His Word.

If a person’s joy is God’s version of joy rather than his own, then how can it be destroyed? It cannot. If the Spirit grows His version of joy within us, will He ever remove it from us? He will not. If we possess God’s joy within us, will it be superior to human-produced joy? It will be.

If you desire indestructible joy becoming a part of your life, the first quality to make solid in your life is salvation. You must look to Jesus without wavering and genuinely heed Peter’s cry: “Lord, save me!”
