THE Reason of JOY: "For God So Loved the World...."




            Have you had your Joy Juice today?  Drink in the JOY of the Jesus, even though Christmas has come and gone!

            All year long, we look anticipate the Christmas season.  It’s a special time of year for children and families, especially.  But I fear that as soon as Christmas is over, we tend to forget that the JOY of Christmas can be with us no matter what time of year it is!

            We must realize that most special gift of all…..JESUS…is ours all the time! We can open the gift of JOY in the Lord every day, any time the day and in all kinds of ways.  May each of us be committed to taking a few minutes out of each busy day to sing His praises and bask in the glow of His love.

         J-E-S-U-S:  J represents the JOY found in relationship with Jesus.  E stands for Emmanuel, “God with us”.  The middle letter S stands for our Good Shepherd, which is exactly what Jesus is; we should keep Him in the center of our lives!  U represents Understanding!  How important it is to Understand the magnitude of His love.

            As we close out this week, let’s look at the last letter of Jesus’ name….S.  I can think of many words that would appropriate to use: Star, Swaddling clothes, Singing angels…but I feel in my heart that what God wants us to concentrate on today is Jesus Christ our SAVIOR!  

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 

           
            Sending my sincere wishes and prayers for Christmas JOY all year long by making sure you invite Jesus, our Savior, into your heart and life !
