My Heart Leaps for Joy

The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and I am helped.
My heart leaps for joy
and I will give thanks to him in song. - Psalm 28: 7


This verse sums up the mixed bag of emotions I've been holding for the last little while. I received word Sunday night that wasn't exactly heart-breaking, but it did make me sad. This one's going to have to play out God's way, and my immediate reaction was probably more out of shock than anything else. Though I was sad (and to some extent, still am), my heart literally leaps for joy when I think about trusting God. Handing over worry and stress to the Everlasting God is, well, liberating! I'm grateful for the ability to trust God, especially because the concept is relatively new to me. It's one thing to say, "Yes, Lord, whatever you will. I give you my life," and another to experience it. It's enough to make your heart leap.
