One More Quote from Chapter 3

Why fight? Why fight for joy?

The fight for joy is “a way of saying that we are weak and desperately need the mercy of God” (39).

I am weak but He is strong. An old timey gospel song...Just a Closer Walk with Thee. The King James Version so dominated 1930-1970 American Christianity so that even the songwriters used the "thees" and "thous." How art thou, by the way? Love, Poppy

Tender Mercy. Great movie. Ah, the mercies of God. Are they not new every morning? Lam 3:22 It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. Great is Thy Faithfulness, Oh God, my Father. Morning by morning new mercies I see. All I have needed Thy hand has provided...Ps 73:25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
