joy in sadness

i'm pissed. i'm frustrated. i'm sad about soccer... the weekend was rough.

YET... God remains good. God remains faithful. and through sadness... i see the importance of moving on and recognizing that Joy is deeper than an emotion... it is underneath... not affected by circumstances... based solely on the fact that Christ is for me---so who can be against me?

there is no greater joy than knowing and treasuring Jesus Christ, who died to pay for my sin. He is more valuable than soccer. he is more valuable than outcomes or performance. He is good.

His mercy is new every morning, what a good God!
