Christmas Joy

where can we find Christmas joy

when our hearts hurt with the things of this world?

How can we engage with the people around us

and see the gladness of Jesus

When our hearts don’t feel happy, our families have conflict, and our circumstances are complicated?

Unlike a faucet, we can’t just turn off our emotions.

And we shouldn’t have to pretend, feel guilty,

or ignore the pain we’re experiencing.

It is possible to acknowledge the difficulties in life

while still experiencing peace and joy.

It comes down to seeing the gift of Jesus

for who He really is in our life.
