Joy is a fruit of the Holy Spirit, which is most greatly experienced in the heart of those willing to surrender all self-sufficiency: self-promotion, self-reliance, self-protection, and self-absorption: it is a gift given.

About This Quote

The joy that comes from surrendering into the will of God is the greatest joy that can be experienced by the human heart. It is not something that can be found in this world, yet it is something that God offers to His children every day. It’s a gift given to all who come to Christ. All who come to Him, without fear or reservation, are given the assurance of eternal life through His sacrifice on Calvary’s cross.
