Few things in life are more sad, or, for that matter, more absurd than a grumpy Christian . Christ promises us lives of abundance and joy, but He does not force His joy upon us. We must claim His joy for ourselves, and when we do, Jesus , in turn, fills our spirits with His power and His love.
How can we receive from Christ the joy that is rightfully ours? By giving Him what is rightfully His: our hearts and our souls.
When we earnestly commit ourselves to the Savior of mankind, when we place Jesus at the center of our lives and trust Him as our personal Savior, He will transform us, not just for today, but all eternity. Then we, as God's children, can share Christ's joy and His message with a world that needs both.
Reflect On This:
The people whom I have seen succeed best in life have always been cheerful and hopeful people who went about their business with a smile on their faces. -Charles Kingsely
