Never let your joy be taken from you.
Don't let people tell you that there is anything "greater" (but feels to me more like drowning in lukewarm milk). Don't let the darkness throw any shadow of control on what God has called passionate and free.
Don't listen to the voices of the world. They tell you that joy has fled, that the excitement you feel, as if you were a child again, at the mention of something wondrous was, in fact, too childish for such times. Times, they say, when now is the time to wake up out of daydreams and put on what they think to be the heavy, full, weighty armor of God.
Never wake from the dream that is actually reality. He is our reality. His armor is the taking off of the old burdens, not the putting on of obligation and routine. His "work" is in fact to keep the joy He gives to us. It is the most precious thing we could ever own or obtain.
For it comes from His heart. And it is who He is.
