Source of Joy

From Henri Nouwen:
Jesus says "In the world you will have troubles, but rejoice, for I have overcome the world." The surprise is not, unexpectedly, that things turn out better than expected. No, the real surprise is that God's light is more real that all the darkness, that God's truth is more powerful than all human lies, that God's love is stronger than death.
Excellent stuff! I admit that I do keep hoping God will change the reality of my everyday life, but even if that never happens, to know that God's light, love and truth are still there in the midst of it all is reassuring.
