Questions from today's episode: When was the last time that God’s forgiveness for you caused giddy, overwhelming joy to bubble up in your heart? When you heard just now that joy is for those whose lives are lived in complete honesty and whose hearts are pure did it feel like a relief or a burden to your heart? Spend time now listening for God’s gentle invitation to you in light of this truth.
