Comfort and Joy are two sensations or feelings associated with Christmas.
But we don’t always feel this way. We may feel alone or literally be alone at Christmas. Or we may experience disappointment. Perhaps, having to isolate, not see family, you miss the train, or Christmas day isn’t quite how you had hoped, the list can go on. These experiences can fill us with disappointment. We are human after all!
All these feels can bring us down. But remember we have been given the gift of Jesus! With Him comes the gift of comfort and joy.
That song ‘God rest ye merry gentlemen’ says:
Yes. Jesus is always our comfort and joy. Our worldly celebrations are not meant to be our comfort and joy and often are not. Often worldly things bring us chaos, upheaval, hurt, and frustration.
Yes, such a true statement. Its so sad how commercialised Xmas has become, and vecause of this it’s bought everything uve just said. We need to be encouraging one another with the gospel. Thank u Jodi. Xx
