"One test of authentic joy is its compatibility with pain. Joy in this world is always joy "in spite of" something. Joy is, as Karl Barth put it, a 'defiant nevertheless' set at a full stop against bitterness and resentment."

Yep! And I'm really proud of you for your obedience to what God is speaking into your life. It's very moving to me.
