“Cultivating deep-seated joy to carry us through the painful times of life is absolutely a praiseworthy pursuit, but in no way does it mean that God is uninterested in our day-to-day happiness. When we measure our spiritual success in terms of how much we have suffered for the sake of the gospel, how unpleasant our daily battle battle against sin is, or how exhaustive our devotion, we stripping ourselves of the sacred gift of delight.” — Tiffany Yecke Brooks
