Have you
had your Joy Juice today? Are you
appropriately dressed for Christmas? Though a “joy jacket” is fitting
regardless of the time of year, may I suggest that you also have handy your
“Coat of Compassion”?
There are
always those around us in need of a helping hand, a shoulder to cry on, a word
of encouragement and, sometimes, material resources. At Christmas time, it seems our sensitive
spirit goes into overdrive! Maybe it’s the Christmas spirit and the fact that
we have decided to wear our “coat of compassion” more often during this season.
Let’s keep
in mind that there are some needs more obvious than others. Some people will
have plenty of gifts under their tree on Christmas morning but will have an
empty heart. They may be the ones who
are in need of the BEST gift of all…JESUS!
Are you willing to share Christ with them?
Show
compassion as Jesus did…no matter where a person lives, regardless of age, skin
color or job description. Whether casual
or close friend, family member or stranger, ALL of us need the JOY of JESUS—at
Christmas time, as well as the whole year long.
God sent His son to save “WHOSOEVER”….Remember John 3:16:
“For God so loved the world, that
he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have everlasting life.”
Keep your coat of compassion
wrapped warmly around your shoulders. Share your “joy jacket” and tell the Good
News of Jesus Christ!
