God is not distant from us, but agonizes with us over sin and suffering and sorrows. He is angry at our sin. But he also rejoices over his people.

When life just doesn’t seem to make sense, or even when it seems void of any meaning at all, what can help us to know our purpose again?

Our enjoyment of God is not only a response to God’s glory — it is the way we glorify him. Therefore, joy in God is not optional.
