But of course, it's not always like that. <br />I remember reading that joy should be independent of our 'feelings' but I think that's a really hard goal to accomplish. As you said, it's natural to focus in on self when things are not going well. <br />Counting blessings is a perfect antidote though, it takes the focus off me and throws it back on our Lord, and that's where joy is!<br />Hope you are having a peaceful Sunday,<br />CeilCeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293917798735764739noreply@blogger.com
