"Renovation of the Heart" Buy from www.amazon.co.uk or www.amazon.com
Dallas Willard
Joy is a pervasive sense - not just a thought - of well-being: of overall and ultimate well-being. Its primary feeling component is delight in an encompassing good well secured. It is not the same as pleasure, though it is pleasant. It is broader and deeper than any pleasure... But for joy, all is well, even in the midst of specific suffering and loss.

A diffuse and vague guilt feeling kills the personality, whereas the conviction of sin gives life to it.

Raymund Ortlund
He had said "Let's go through this together. Let me help." And He had proven Himself again and again. But there's something deep inside us that diminishes past facts and magnifies present uncertainties. Somehow God's faithfulness in the past doesn't carry weight for long and pretty soon we start feeling as unloved and alone as ever. It's just the way we are. That's why we need constant renewal. There is always some plausible alternative to trusting in God, something to take our eyes of God.

John Dawson: "Don't wait for a feeling of love in order to share Christ with a stranger. You already love your Heavenly Father, and you know that this stranger is created by Him, but separated from Hium, so take those first steps of evangelism because you love God. It is not primarily out of compassion for humanity that we share our faith or pray for the lost; it is first of all, love for God. The Bible says in Ephesians 6:7-8: "With good will doing service, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free"

D.A. Carson
"Pray until you pray" The Puritans What they meant is that Christians should pray long enough and honestly enough, at a single session, to get past the feeling of formalism and unreality that attends not a little praying. We are especially prone to such feelings when we pray only for a few minutes, rushing to be done with a mere duty. To enter the spirit of prayer, we must stick at it for a while. If we "pray until we pray", eventually we will come into God\'s presence, to rest in His love, to cherish His will. Even in dark or agonised praying, we somehow discover a little a little of what Jude means when he exhorts his readers to "pray in the Holy Spirit" (Jude 20) - which presumably means it is treacherously possible not to pray in the Spirit.

We notice also that Paul finds a basic unity, even identity between the love of God as it is shown in the objective, factual event of Christ's death on the cross and as it is experienced "in the heart" by teh believer (v5b). An emotional feeling of God's love in itself, is little comfort to th eperson who is lost, condemned, doomed for hell. But a cold, sober historical interpretation that indeed "God love the world" on the cross is of little benefit to a person until that love is experienced, is received, by faith in Christ. It is when these are properly experienced as two aspects of one great love, ultimately indivisible, that our assurance that "hope will not put us to shame" v5a will be strong and unshakable.

I won't summarize Gordon Fee's teaching here. But I do want to mention something he said almost as an aside. He was dealing with Philippians 3:1, which says, "Finally, my brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord." Gordon explained that this is not a command to feel happy feelings. Paul is not saying, "Rev yourself up and be joyful." Rather, this is a command to praise the Lord, to worship God. It may well be that when we do this, we will feel joy. But that's not the main point. Paul is repeating in Philippians what can be found throughout the Psalms: calls to praise God through joyful expression. Gordon Fee has nothing against feeling happy, I'm quite sure. But his take on Philippians is a helpful one. Perhaps you have wondered how you're supposed to make yourself feel joyful when your down in the dumps. It can almost seem as if Paul is telling us to do the impossible. But when we understand that he is calling us to praise God, then we're released from the task of having to make ourselves feel a certain way, a task that often leads to denial and pretending.

We look back and remember that we owe our life to an act of God's hospitality. We were once strangers and aliens in the Egypt of sin and death. But God came to us in the Passover of his Son's cross (1 Corinthians 5:7) and made us alive (Ephesians 2:5) and brought us out through the Red Sea of conversion. Then we turn and look forward into a future where we are loved with an omnipotent power and zeal that are as sure as the commitment God has to his own glory. He will meet all our needs in the wilderness of this life, and he will see us safely through the Jordan into the promised homeland, where we will enjoy the milk and honey of his fellowship forever. Therefore when we practice hospitality here's what happens: we experience the refreshing joy of becoming conduits of God's hospitality rather than being self-decaying cul-de-sacs. The joy of receiving God's hospitality decays and dies if it doesn't flourish in our own hospitality to others. Or here is another way to put it: when we practice hospitality we experience the thrill of feeling God's power conquer our fears and our stinginess and all the psychological gravity of our self-centeredness. And there are few joys, if any, greater than the joy of experiencing the liberating power of God's hospitality making us a new and radically different kind of people, who love to reflect the glory of his grace as we extend it to others in all kinds of hospitality
