Protect your JOY this Christmas Season

As we approach the Christmas Holiday’s…

Sometimes the woe’s of this old world can leave one feeling sad, depressed, worthless, lonely and unloved with a  sense of hopelessness!  But let us be quick to recognize it for what it is…a direct attack of the enemy!   Remember, we have to be on guard, for the enemy is no respecter of persons and will flood your mind with negative feelings, emotions and thoughts that can quickly send you into a downward spiral!

Seems as we’re approaching the Holiday season the evil one has stepped up his forces to bring Gods Children to low point where it’s hard to rejoice!  If you are dealing with an attack of sadness & hopelessness, it’s important to not hide it.   Share it with a trusted praying friend & stand together upholding one another in prayer!  It always helps to know that someone else is crying out your name before the Lord!

And in the midst of all your holiday busyness, I also encourage you to take some quiet time to reflect upon the goodness & faithfulness of our Lord.  But don’t go to Him with a list, but with purpose…to wait…to worship…to listen!  And there in the quietness of His presence may you find your soul flooded with the comforting love of our Heavenly Father.  You will find His perfect love brings a ray of hope into a bleak situation, Joy into a broken heart, peace & rest into a weary soul.

As we approach this Christmas Season, may your heart and your home be filled with Gods unconditional love.  And may you also make time to reach out and bring the light of Christ into someone else’s world!  From my heart to yours…”Wishing you a beautiful Christmas to remember”!!

I lift up my eyes to the hills–where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.(Psalm 121:1-2)
