2 Corinthians 9:15 (New International Version)
15 Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!
Jesus is Hope because every promise of God is fulfilled in Him…
Jesus is Joy because in Him dwells all of God’s fullness…
Jesus is Peace because all authority has been given to Him…
Jesus is Love because He gave Himself without reservation.
Joy! Try to catch the scope of the angel’s song:
Those in the highest places in heaven eternally enjoy His glory.
Those on earth – through all ages of human history – can enjoy His peace.
All heaven and earth are deeply affected with joy by the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Christ came to bear it all for mankind upon His cross, so Christmas joy is deep, good, everlasting and strong! Consider how His star shone down, revealing cradle, cross, and crown. Let’s look up and sing a Christmas song in His honor today!
My Prayer: Heavenly Father, God Almighty please help us to not forget that true joy comes from you. It does not come from our financial status, the clothes we wear, or in what we think we should do to please others. True joy is everlasting and radiates from You dear Lord as it penetrates our very soul. Help us to experience true joy that only You can give as we celebrate Your birth dear Lord, Jesus this Christmas Season. You dear Father are the provider of our hope, joy, peace and love. Let us be reminded in the faces that we encounter that You dear Lord are the one we call upon as the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ Our Lord, the Holy Messiah and Immanuel. You are the indescribable gift! In this I pray in Jesus’ name. Amen
Song Lyrics to: Away In A Manger
Away in a manger,
No crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head
The stars in the bright sky
Looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing
The poor Baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes
I love Thee, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side,
'Til morning is nigh.
Be near me, Lord Jesus,
I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray
Bless all the dear children
In Thy tender care
And take us to heaven
To live with Thee there
