“The amount which you understand the gospel is measured by your ability to be joyful in all circumstances. If you grasp what a treasure the presence and acceptance of God are, then even when life goes really wrong you will have a joy that sustains you, because youâ€™ll recognize the value of what you have in Him. When life punches you in the face, youâ€™ll say, â€˜But I still have the love and acceptance of God, a treasure I donâ€™t deserve.â€™ And the joy you find in that treasure can make you rejoice even when you have a bloody nose. You have a joy that death and depravation cannot touch.”
