Absolutely fantastic, awe inspiring, fulfilling, and breathtaking all in one short read. The sure weight of glory in that unending inexplicable joy that overwhelms me that nothing can sway or bring you down. It is that same “joy unspeakable” that you referenced so well that Paul could not until after his death fully explain. Perhaps now he can. Thank you for sharing such eloquence and putting things into perspective for those of us yet remaining on this fragile planet called Earth.
Thank you for this! That joy is unknown apart from Christ. I had a thought about how much JOY was shining on the faces of the men and women standing beside me in church a few weeks ago, and wrote some thoughts on that here: https://open.substack.com/pub/codyilardo/p/we-all-with-unveiled-face?r=1q8ur0&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
Finished reading your article! Awesome the transformative power of Christ, and it wells up in us and results in abundant joy! Thanks for writing it!
I wrote a previous essay on Joy here:
