"people tend to think their circumstances determine the quality of their lives. they pour their energy into trying to control those situations. they feel happy when things are going well, and sad or frustrated when things don't turn out as they'd hoped. they rarely question this correlation between their circumstances and their feelings. yet it is possible to be content in any and every situation."
-sarah young (from today's Jesus Calling)Jesus is the only person that defines us.
His joy is the only joy that does not depend on circumstance.
His peace is not found in tidy homes, bank statements, or perfect relationships.
it's only found in His presence.
that's good news, friends, because His presence is waiting for us in each moment.
everything may be falling or failing or fading,
but never peace.
peace can always be found.
