An Inexpressible and Glorious Joy

I feel like jumping for joy, and for no partiular material or tangible reason. I'm up at this hour still hyped up about something which I couldn't quite put my finger on at the start of this day; not until I remembered this verse:

1 Peter 1:8
Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy,

I woke up this morning with an indescribable peace. For the first time in a long time, I faced the day with a certainty about my heart which I've fully committed into God's hands, and with that, I was secured in the knowledge that there, my heart would be kept safe, treasured and romanced.

I realized that this was what I'd been seeking all along: a true and beautiful relationship with Him. Foolish of me to have sought this out in other things, other circumstances, other people.

Now that this has been impressed upon me, I can't but jump for joy. This is freedom like I've never felt before.

Thanks to my small group. You guys had a hand in this. ^v^
