“Joy is distinctly a Christian word and a Christian thing. It is the reverse if happiness. Happiness is the result of what happens of an agreeable sort. Joy has its spring deep down inside. And that spring never runs dry, no matter what happens. Only Jesus gives that joy.

– S.D. Gordon

Jesus came into the world as a gift, a gift from God, given to all who will receive Him.

The precious gift of Jesus–He is salvation from sin–is what brings about our joy.

This joy is free. It can’t be earned, and it is available to all at anytime–not just the holiday season.

But what a wonderful time it is, right now, during the month of His miraculous birth, for you to invite Jesus into your life, accepting His free gift, the gift of salvation.

Jesus loves you. Believe me, He already knows you by name. He’s simply waiting for you to make the move. He will never force Himself upon you. He’s waiting for you to call to Him and say, “Jesus, I desire to have the joy that only you can offer. I believe you are my savior, and I accept you into my heart.”

No need to clean yourself up or try to change yourself before inviting Him into your heart. He knows who you are, where you’ve been. He’s eager to help you overcome heartache, loneliness, guilt, or rejection. Whatever mess you’ve suffered through, and any mess you are in right now, Jesus wants to offer you His joy to help you through the situation.

NEHEMIAH 8:10 "Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength."

Jesus, God’s gift of salvation to us, offers hope, comfort, peace and love. Joy in Him, for salvation to us, is a true calming factor.

Jesus wants a relationship with you right now. There are no catches or works to do. Jesus already loves you. Life on earth isn’t perfect, and Jesus understands.

I encourage you right now to experience the joy of Jesus by inviting Him into your heart right now.
