God's joy flows out of a wellspring of thanksgiving. This isn’t
knowledge-based as much as it is experienced. There is a discipline that sets the
foundation, for it; a longing that sets in motion a seeking. An appetite develops and
is only satisfied with the pure form.
Remember when Jesus said, seek, knock ask and you’ll find? There is an implied satisfaction. A longing fulfilled, an intimacy attained. At the same time comes the realization that there is no limit, there are no boundaries, there is always enough and always more. There is a state of continual overflow that influences others.
This is the essence of
kingdom living. Other-centeredness. Wholeness. This goes beyond contentment to
the desire of the heart becoming a tree of life, providing shade and sustenance.

There is simply nothing like it!
