Joy to the World!
“Joy to the World! The Lord is come!”
The hustle and bustle. The gift assignments. The exuberant festivities. This time of the year is absolutely and immensely joyful. You can’t help but reflect and be thankful for all that we have been blessed with. Have you done your reflection? Don’t forget to be thankful and demonstrate that thankfulness.
In the midst of all this celebration don’t forget to celebrate the reason for our Joy. The Lord came to give us life and life more abundantly. I often wonder how people can succumb to depression or suicidal thoughts during the most joyous celebration known to man. But, I have come to realize that what you focus on will take precedence in your life. If you take your eyes off Jesus, who is our Joy, life will overwhelm you and weigh you down. However, when you choose to focus on the Joy of our lives, who knows all, owns all and is the answer to all, your confidence level rises to heights unseen. You begin to comprehend the God who has your back and loves you with an everlasting love.
Focus on the Joy that came to save the world! Focus on the Joy of the Lord which is our strength. Let the Joy of the Lord elevate you this Christmas Season. If you have Jesus, you have everything you need.
Enjoy your family! Enjoy your friends! Enjoy the gifts! Enjoy the celebratio! Enjoy the food and lights! But, most of all enjoy Jesus, the reason for the season!
