Restore the Joy

In Psalm 51, David prays words that I have been praying for myself today. "Restore to me the joy of Your salvation." Restore the joy— a joy that comes from the truth of the gospel. Oh how I want the sweetness of the love of Jesus to saturate my heart. However, I will not grasp for the joy. Rather, with repentance and faith, I will grasp for a nail scarred hand... and then I will get the joy, too.
