It was confession time for the Christian couple and role model to many. They had a big house, good income, enjoyed holidays abroad but wondered aloud why they found life so unexciting, compared to a young couple occupying some rooms in their quarters for free. The young couple radiated inner peace, were grateful for little favours, and appeared to own the world despite their lack. The couple knew the letter and had preached to others on the essence of joy in Christ, but that was about it. Their reality was different.

?Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.? ? Philippians 4: 4 (KJV)

Joy is not about things.
Let the Son shine in your heart daily.
