We don’t like to admit it, but pain is a fact of life. Sooner or later the “p” word comes into everyone’s path. And when it does how do you deal with it? Do you let pain conquer your spirit, or do you stare it down, armed with a “stubborn joy”? Even in pain God is near. He wants you to grasp the peace that defies pain. He wants to be with you, facing pain with His holy joy. Only He can show you the path to a defiant peace…
Jesus embodied a stubborn joy. A joy that refused to bend in the wind of hard times. A joy that held its ground against pain. A joy whose roots extended deep into the bedrock of eternity.
-- Max Lucado in “Peace That Defies Pain”
