O Come, All Ye Faithful, Joyful and…Wait…Joyful? Really?
“O come, all ye faithful,
joyful, and triumphant!
O come ye, o come ye,
to Bethlehem.”
I don’t always feel joyful.
Maybe you don’t either.
Maybe there’s a reason.
The adult Jesus said that he told us everything he did “for a purpose: that my joy might be your joy, and your joy wholly mature.” (John 15:11, The Message version.)
Jesus wants our joy to be about more than our feelings.
Even during The Weekend Before Christmas.
Maybe even especially now.
Really.
