Have you had your JOY JUICE today? Be ready for Christmas by
dressing in your warm jacket of JOY!
Are you
appropriately dressed…for Christmas??? Though a “joy jacket” is just right
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 or material resources.
At Christmas time….more than any other time of year 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 might 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 what a person’s socio-economic level,
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.”
May I urge you to keep your coat of compassion
wrapped warmly around your shoulders and be willing to share the reason for the
season with others!
