Is this the truth?

The last few days I've felt a joy inside my chest that I didn't think was possible. It has been growing over the last 2 mos. I told my wife yesterday that if Heaven's joy is beyond this, I cant' even imagine what it will be like.
Joy has no bounds when you walk in God's Word. I think I've read that somewhere (if it's in the bible I can't think of where).
Over my life I've always tried to find happiness in achievements; hockey and wrestling, hunting, fishing, crazy-demanding camping trips, college awards and grades, mostly trying to get other people to praise my achievements to find self worth. That desire or curse is gone now. No more distortions in my mind trying to find acceptance from others, who will ultimately find fault in who you are (it's human nature). For the first time I found true victory in my heart. I'm victorious in the Lord. It's true victory and I don't have to prove it to anybody, just follow what is right in the eyes of the lord. And I feel it, I'm free!
This joy is right in front of us but it takes a true commitment. That commitment for me, felt like a step of a cliff, a no turning back point, time to join God's team, time to turn my back on my sin filled life.
Believe and live God's Word, make a pure, heart pounding, soul shaking decision to truly live with God in the forefront of your earth bound life. This step is not easy, make it wisely, pray for it, and let God show you the time.
