I find sometimes in my own life people are annoyed with me because I am joyful or content or at peace, and not in a prideful or overt way but just the fruit of following Christ. I don't know if they are angry because they are not at peace or because I am.
True to the word. Just as I would heed the same to not gently prance in “pride”. Even some in the faith may view this outlook as being overly confident as well, the peace, contentedness exhibiting possible godly jealousy stoking thoughts against one’s own joy of salvation is unfortunately something I have come across in brief.

That last line of yours is likely the very place where the decision could be realized to place upon.

Hope your holidays went well, and belated Merry Christmas to all!
