Returning to the Psalms has opened my eyes to the beauty of God’s law, not as a list of rules, but as a loving guide to a full and joyful life. What once felt restrictive now feels like an invitation into freedom, rest, and wholeness. Following Jesus isn’t about earning rewards; it’s about learning to live well.

There is a difference between the elated feeling of joy and the lasting contentment of joy that comes from having hope in God.
