00:12Because joy is really a gift of the Holy Spirit. It's something that God pours into your heart.
00:16And when God invites you to do something and you respond, usually what happens after that
00:23is beyond your wildest dreams, right? Because you begin to encounter the Lord in new ways
00:29and in mysterious ways that you don't even really fully understand. But it's all just so beautiful.
00:33And I think that would be the word that captures my life as a sister. I just feel like I
00:38encounter
00:38and experience beauty in a way that I never understood before. And it helps me to trust the
00:45Lord more, to trust in His love for me, to know that I belong to Him, that I'm His spouse,
00:50and that
00:51we are in this relationship of love. And through His love for me and my response of love to Him,
00:59I can bring His love to the world, which is the most beautiful part, right? That out of
01:04this relationship of love with the Lord, that there is born this fruit that can reach out
01:10into the world if I stay faithful and if I keep opening my heart to Him. And that's the key,
01:15just to stay faithful, to trust in His love, and to keep opening my heart to Him. And it's
01:22beyond words. It's so beautiful.
01:24Amen.
01:26Amen.
01:36Amen.
