Wow! So good!! Yes, rightly ordered emotions are a delight! God literally jumps for joy as he sings over us in Zephaniah 3:17! I especially rejoice in the Psalms and how they pull on every conceivable emotion--my favorite is Psalm 84: "My soul longs, yes faints for the courts of the Lord, my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God!! Love the Chronicles of Narnia illustration, I re-read the chronicles every year, CS Lewis beautifully captured the heart of the gospel in Narnia! Really like the moving scene in the Voyage of the Dawn Treader where Edmund, Lucy and Eustace encounter the Lamb (as the disciples encountered Jesus on the beach in John 21) who invites them to "come and have breakfast," fish he has roasted for them. "....And it was the most delicious food they had ever tasted..." Yes, the Lord's table certainly should be!
Incredible comparing of the two. It’s okay to be emotional 👏
It really is. Thanks friend! 🙏

Love the connection with John 21 and Voyage! God is a God of delight and enjoyment!
Thank you Kaleb. Maybe I'm not so crazy after all!
Or maybe all of us are a bit crazy! 😂
But I know what you mean! Thanks so much! 🙏
