Isaiah 61:3 "To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified."Tis the season to be Joyful.
As we approach this christmas season this year. Let us remember to spread joy in this season to those who are mourning.
When many are preparing for christmas dinners and family gatherings, there are those who are sad and alone and depressed because they have lost loved ones, are locked away in prisons, or are serving in the military and cannot be with their families.
They need our love, prayers, and support this Christmas.
Jesus came so that we can have the oil of joy for mourning. He came so that we can have the joy of the lord, which is our strength. Strength to face any situation knowing that Jesus is a present help to all that put their trust in him.
The oil of joy in us today is the Holy Spirit in our lives. We as believers have a joy and a peace that the world did not give not can the world take away.
So this Christmas season, reach out to help someone other than yourself and give the love of Jesus away to those who are mourning. Their mourning can be over when we spread joy and show the love of Jesus.
Give Joy this Christmas!
Erase their mourning and spread the Joy of the Lord.
This is your higher calling......"Live Higher!"
This is a great post. Thank you and be bless.
