My weakness...

Ok, so my weakness is my newly found appriciation for Christian fiction novels. I have found quite a few authors that I can completely dive into their writings and not surface until the back cover is reached.

Karen Kingsbury, Neta Jackson, Dee Henderson, and Kristen Heitzmann are some of the authors that I enjoy.

I am currently on the second book of a series by Kristen Heitzmann and it has brought quite a few good thoughts to my mind. The one that hits me the most is the quote:

"To experience a greater joy is to risk a greater sorrow."

How true is that? In order to truely experience a boundless joy takes risking the chance at a greater sorrow.

Regardless of how the experience turns out there should be no regrets because you risked the sorrow just to experience the joy. This could be applied to many situations in life. So the next time you are faced with a chance at great joy, I say weigh the risks and know that, yes, you might get hurt, but, wouldn't the joy that is possible far outweigh the sorrow you could experience.
