The Advent of Joy
The third candle of Advent, a symbol of joy, invites us to celebrate the true happiness that comes from meeting, knowing, and following Jesus.
This world of ours is filled with hurt, disaster, pain, suffering, and evil.
The joy that Jesus offers is a beacon of hope, promising a better way of living and free from worldly clamors.
For me, and perhaps for you, it's not a fleeting emotion but a deep-seated peace that surpasses understanding.
As we prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus, my prayer for you to embrace this joy, a gift we are freely given.
May it fill your heart, overflow into your life, and spread to those around you, bringing Advent warmth and light to this Christmas season.
“We found that God does not make too hard terms with those who seek Him” Big Book pg 46
Hey God, thank you for the JOY we receive through meeting, knowing, and following Jesus. Please Holy Spirit work through each of us to let Your JOY spread and cover those around us with Your Joy, Hope, and Peace. We ask and claim this in the name of Jesus, AMEN.
“The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord.” Luke 2: 10-11
Have a blessed day Y’all!
