The Pursuit of Joy Philippians 1

Henri Nouwen’s Joy “Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day. It is a choice based on the knowledge that we belong to God and have found in God our refuge and our safety and that nothing, not even death, can take God away from us.

Henri Nouwen’s Joy “Joy is the experience of knowing that your are unconditionally loved and that nothing – sickness, failure, emotional distress, oppression, war or even death – can take that love away. ”

Paul’s Joy in Romans “Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine, or nakedness or danger or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

Paul’s Joy in Romans For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. ” Romans 8: 38 -39
