Self-protecting strategies may have made life seem more livable (for the short haul), but they never bring true joy. Joy is only found in the abandonment of self-focused agendas and demands the relinquishing of each one to Him. Those imaginary fiberglass walls we've built to insulate ourselves from disturbing truths are, in reality, the walls of a coffin, a place where faith, hope, and joy molder.
