“God amazes me. He baffles me too, but mostly He surprises me with the incredible moments of happiness that come my way. I want to praise God when the wave of joy floods my being. Like a parent beaming at the sight of her baby’s smile. God must also connect to his children’s pleasure with equal joy. When delight brightens your countenance, turn your face upward in gratitude – your heart will follow, and you will see a reflection of God’s gladness.” —–An excerpt from the book, “One Minute with God” by Hope Lyda
