His Mirth

There was something that He hid from all men when He went up a mountain to pray.

There was something that He covered constantly by abrupt silence or impetuous isolation. There was some one thing that was too great for God to show us when He walked upon our earth; and I have sometimes fancied that it was His mirth.
--G.K. Chesterton

This is my all time favorite quote about Jesus. I love to think of Him as seeing us as His children and that he found us funny, childlike and sometimes absurd. I love to think of Him as lighthearted and joyful.

We take ourselves to seriously. Walk with Him today in JOY.

holy experience
