Here is an excerpt from the thirteenth chapter of my new release, "The Signature of God":

"Joy is a huge part of the Christian life. This doesn't mean our circumstances are easy or we don’t have troubles. But God gives us joy—in a supernatural way—that transforms any situation into one in which we can see Him, know His goodness, and trust in the fact that things will be okay. Our joy comes from realizing that the glorious, holy, almighty God of the universe cherishes us; Jesus took our sin away; and God gave us His Holy Spirit to advocate for us. Our joy comes from knowing that God not only carries us through but also is bigger than any and every situation. And our joy comes from understanding that in Him is victory and the hope of Heaven."

The Divine Paradox

In giving we receive.

In loving we are loved.

In losing we gain.

In surrender we are victorious.

In dying we are born.

In forgiving we are forgiven.

In accepting we are accepted.

In death we find life.

In weakness we find strength.

In quiet we find music.

In letting go we are saved.

In pain we are healed.

In suffering we are restored.

In brokeness we are mended.

In pruning we grow.

In emptying we are filled.

In submission we find power.

In darkness we find light.

In mystery we find understanding.

In stillness we find God.

In losing our life we find The Life.

In the paradox of faith we are transformed......
