Joy to the World!

A recent article on MSNBC entitled “How to be Happy Again” says it all, we all face unhappiness at some point in our lives. I’ve heard it said that being happy is based on what is “happening.” If this is so, then there has to be a better way to go through life merely hoping for happiness.

On the other hand, joy comes from within—but only if we know the Source of joy. You are probably familiar with the old song commonly sung at Christmastime Joy to the World. The first stanza reads:

Joy to the world, the Lord is come!

Let earth receive her King;

Let every heart prepare Him room,

And heaven and nature sing,

And heaven and nature sing,

And heaven, and heaven, and nature sing.

But, are you familiar with the promise offered in the third? Turn up the volume and take a look and listen. One day, Jesus will be King here on earth. There really will be a time when Christ will heal the earth and there will be no more thorns and weeds (a part of the curse). Until that time, there will inevitably be sorrow, tears and unhappiness in our lives.

God sent Joy to the world. This truth provides hope, and hope leads to joy, and joy comes from knowing Jesus as Savior. He fills our hearts with joy!
