“How well will we handle relationships, emotions, pain and pleasure throughout out life-time? Joy creates an identity that is stable and consistent over time. Joy gives us the freedom to share our hearts with God and others. Expressing our joyful identity creates space for others to belong. Joy gives us the freedom to live without masks because, in spite of our weaknesses, we know we are loved. We are not afraid of our vulnerabilities or exposure. Joy gives us the freedom from fear to live from the heart Jesus gave us. We discover increasing delight in becoming the people God knew we could be.” ~ Dr. Jim Wilder Numbers 6:22-26 22 then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 23 "speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, ‘Thus you shall bless the sons of Israel. You shall say to them: 24 The Lord bless you and keep you; 25 the Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; 26 the Lord lift up His countenance on you and give you peace.’ Psalm 16:11 NASU You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence* is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.

Our call “...to recognize the sacred presence of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in every person, place, and moment...” (C. Baxter Kruger) - turns out to be the very first practical need that His disciples faced following the resurrection of Jesus.
