Experience the Gift of Joy
This Advent season, as we experience the gift of joy, we’re reminded that true joy isn’t about ignoring our struggles or living in a "no worries" and apathetic mindset. Instead, it's a deep, abiding joy that comes from Jesus, who entered our world to bring good news of great joy to all people. This joy is resilient and enduring, even in the midst of life's challenges. Today, we'll explore how we can anticipate, recognize, and choose this joy by living in gratitude, obedience, and a close relationship with Christ, allowing His joy to fill our hearts this Christmas season.
