Thanks so much for this! I have been reading Keller lately myself and I actually wept today because I miss him so much. Another great quote from my husband: “If you can’t be happy today then you will never be happy.”
Yes! Here are a couple of very related lies that I've had to battle: "If only I can make it through X, I'll be okay" and "Once we are past Y, then I'll be happy." It becomes far too easy to wish your life away with this mindset. In this life, there will be trouble. I just need to remember to take heart, for Jesus has overcome this world.
