Joy to the world, the Lord has come!
Into this beautiful world,
and into this world filled with chaos and tears,
Joy has come.
Even in the midst of the wind and the storms,
in our pain and in our losses,
Joy has come.
Isn't this what all of mankind longs for?
What we all desire?
We look for joy everywhere,
and we look for joy everyday.
We are made for this - to long for deep-rooted happiness,
the kind that bubbles up from within.
And we are not left alone to find this sought-after treasure ...
we are told where to find what we long for.
You make known to me the path of life;
in Your presence there is fullness of joy;
at Your right hand
are pleasures forevermore.
(Psalm 16:11 ESV)
In our times of celebration,
when we are in need ...
Wherever we are,
whatever our situation,
there is JOY close by,
with us, within.
With Him.
I bring you good news
that will bring great joy to all people.
The Savior - yes, the Messiah, the Lord -
has been born ...
(from Luke 2:10-11 NLT)
... they will call Him Immanuel,
which means 'God is with us'.
(Matthew 1:23 NLT)
Into this beautiful world,
and into this world filled with chaos and tears,
Joy has come.
Even in the midst of the wind and the storms,
in our pain and in our losses,
Joy has come.
