Shattered Dreams

Pursuing the world’s definition of joy is like riding on the interstate highway. We just naturally assume that’s the fastest and surest way to where we are going, that is, until we hit a sig alert or an ice storm that has caused the crashes of hundreds of cars. God defines “joy” differently than you and I do. It is deeper, richer, and anchors us in the midst of the storms of life. But to build that kind of “joy” requires us to take “back roads,” roads that God “re-routes” us to in order to get us where He wants us to be–eternal “joy.”
