What sort of world might it have been if Eve had refused the servants offer and had said to him instead, “let me not be like God. Let me be what I was made to be - let me be a woman'?

A little quiet reflection will remind me that yes to God always leads in the end to joy.

Sometimes life is so hard you can only do the next thing.Whatever that is just do the next thing.God will meet you there.

Lonely? Give it to Jesus. The loneliness itself is material for sacrifice.

Jesus loved the will of His Father. He embraced the limitations, the necessities, the conditions, the very chains of His humanity as He walked and worked here on earth, fulfilling moment by moment His divine commission and the stern demands of His incarnation. Never was there a word or even a look of complaint.

What sort of world might it have been if Eve had refused the servants offer and had said to him instead, “let me not be like God. Let me be what I was made to be - let me be a woman'?

Everything if given to God can become your gateway to joy.
