Strength

Ann Voskamp writes,

Cynicism isn’t strength and ranting doesn’t rejuvenate and frustration can never accomplish what Faith can.

She wonders,

Does my life testify to my belief in the power of complaint — or the power of Christ?

She realizes,

A smile is where the first strong surrender to His will and His joy begins.

She asks,

Why let anything steal your joy?

If the Joy of the Lord is my strength, then why let anything steal my strength?

The Joy of the Lord is our strength — and anger leaves everyone weak.

Let something steal your joy — and you let something steal your strength.
