The Passion, the Passions

Joy is the motor of defiance toward sin. It doesn't make you have gratitude, but it's our gratitude that makes us filled with joy. If you find pleasure in jesus, it keeps you from trying recreate the pleasure in alcohol. Starve the flesh. Don't play with it. Don't pet it. And don't think that you're that strong. The reason so many people fall into cycles is because they're trying to find joy. This is how you become joy full.
