Just me trying to be honest with God.

God imparts joy to put the last touches on pleasures when they are rightly taken from His hand.

“At your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” Ps.16

When deciding a course of action it is wise to know the difference between pleasure and joy. Joy enables us to experience pleasure without doubt, guilt or fear. Joy completes pleasure like childbirth completes a pregnancy. Pleasure without joy is to miscarry. It is wise to choose nothing that offers pleasure but has no joy in it.  Make sure that pleasure adds to your joy, instead of stealing from it.    Conversations Within” ts 1/24/2014 (Hayneville, AL)
