Christmas Joy

"Joy to the world the Lord has come!"

This is what we are celebrating this season. This is where the joy is found. Jesus came to earth as a baby. A baby just like any other baby but He was God who loved us so much that He came to show us the path we should walk. A path of peace and joy. No earthly peace and joy but heavenly peace and joy. This is the joy that no man can take from you, no circumstances can rob you of and no pain can over power. He brought us the ability to catch hold of this joy.

"Let earth receive her King."

You can ignore Him. You can reject Him. But He wants you to receive Him. That takes effort and a decision on your part. God does not push Himself on people. You must open your heart and receive Him.

"Let every heart prepare Him room."

Start spring cleaning your heart so there is room for Him. Remove all the junk this world has thrust into you heart. Remove the garbage that you have been fed. You are not alone to handle your struggles on this earth. You are loved and God is waiting for you to come and find the peace in His strong arms.

"Let heaven and nature sing, let heaven and nature sing, let heaven and nature sing!"

Well, I'm singing this Christmas season. Yah, you thought I was bah humbugging didn't you. No, not me. I am singing to God and celebrating the coming of His son who has meant so much to me in my life. I have had a long hard road and I couldn't have done it without His strength, peace and joy.

That's what it's all about.

Bless you with God's peace, joy and love this Christmas.
