He stole my joy on Good Friday, then all I had was a sorrowful countenance.
A glad heart makes a cheerful face,
but by sorrow of heart the spirit is crushed.
Proverbs 15:13
It was so bad that by Sunday I still had sorrow unshaken and I would not even look up to receive a joyful countenance and joy for my soul.
The light of the eyes rejoices the heart,
and good news refreshes the bones.
Proverbs 15:30
I have long owed it to myself and more importantly to God to find out what His word says on the subject of Satan. I always thought it was a cop-out to say Satan is the cause of this; I wanted to blame it on myself and root out my sin, and this has it's proper place too, but often that just made me more depressed because I couldn't figure it out.
But greater has been and will always be He who is in me than he who is in the world.
