In a world obsessed with comfort and feelings, Scripture calls us to something deeper, real joy rooted in Christ, and obedience that flows from love. Today we explore why joy is not an emotional high, but the steady gladness of hearts surrendered to Jesus.

We don’t obey to earn His favor. He has already given us grace in full. We obey because Christ is Lord. True joy is found not in self-rule, but in glad submission to the King
