" God is not expecting us to muster up happiness in him from the void of some nebulous religious inclinations, from the black hole of our empty emotional reservoir. He puts the joy inside of us that he demands from us. What grace! “These things I have spoken to you,” Jesus says, “that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full” (John 15:11). "
