Written by Dallas Willard (1935-2013), an American philosopher and author on Christian spiritual formation. This is an excerpt from his book “The Divine Conspiracy.”
We should, to begin with, think that God leads a very interesting life, and that he is full of joy. Undoubtedly, he is the most joyous being in the universe. The abundance of his love and generosity is inseparable from this infinite joy. All of the good and beautiful things from which we occasionally drink tiny droplets of soul-exhilarating joy, God continuously experience in all their breadth and depth and richness.
For the joy of the Lord is your strength [Nehemiah 8:10]
