Love this from Amy Carmichael: "The reason why singing is such a splendid shield against the fiery darts of the devil is that it greatly helps us to forget him, and he cannot endure being forgotten. He likes us to be occupied with him, what he is doing (our temptations), with his victories (our falls), with anything but our glorious Lord. So sing. Never be afraid of singing too much. We are much more likely to sing too little."
It’s not just the Catholics(as you said)who’ve lost their capability for uninhibited joy. Praise Jesus for the believers who know it is not dangerous to be a raw expression of joy and of God. It is certainly dangerous to the devil and he will project his feelings about it onto you but we can cast that aside and dance!

Joy…song. Yes and amen! This is precisely what our world needs. Let it be, Lord.🙏🏽
Yes. God is joy. But many Christians just seem filled with anything but joy.
Thank you SO much. I really needed this. Keep writing, keep speaking. We desperately need to hear this.
