Hello there, my friend. Chuck Swindoll here. I have a question that might just step on your toes a little bit: Are you an ‘if only’ person, or are you an ‘in spite of’ person? In this video, ‘Joyful Living,’ I want to challenge the excuses we often make for not living as joyful believers.
We tend to think our happiness depends on ideal circumstances—saying, ‘If only I had this,’ or ‘If only that changed.’ But biblical joy is an ‘in spite of’ reality. It thrives even when life is hard. If you find your joy is constantly leaking out because of the troubles of this world, I invite you to watch. Let’s learn how to cultivate a spirit of rejoicing that doesn’t depend on everything going right.
