Love Came Down: A Christmas DevotionalНамуна

JOY HAS COME

On a quiet night, shepherds keeping watch over their flock were surprised by an angel bringing the 'good news of great joy'—the Savior had been born. Their awe and response remind us that the joy of Jesus is for everyone, no matter how humble.

Christmas marks the joyful arrival of Jesus, the greatest gift ever given to humanity. His birth brought good news that wasn’t limited to one moment but continues to echo throughout history, filling hearts with everlasting joy.

The joy Jesus offers is profound and steadfast, independent of our circumstances. It is a joy deeply rooted in the knowledge that we are loved by a God who came down from heaven to be with us. This joy brings comfort in sorrow, strength in trials, and celebration in moments of triumph.

This Christmas, let the joy of Jesus fill your heart anew. Reflect on His birth with gratitude and let your celebration radiate the profound joy that His presence brings. Share this joy freely, knowing that in doing so, you celebrate the very heart of Christmas itself.

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, thank You for the joy Your birth brought into the world. Fill me anew with Your joy this Christmas season and help me to reflect Your joyous spirit in every interaction. May my life bring joy to others and glory to You. Amen.

Action Step:
Today, intentionally spread joy to someone around you—a neighbor, family member, or even a stranger. A smile, a kind word, or a simple act of kindness can remind them of the joy we have because Jesus has come.
