God wants to grow some sweet stuff in your life! ...like fruit! It's called the "fruit of the Spirit." Galatians 5:22,23 tells us about this. One of the spiritual fruits is JOY. God wants your JOY to grow during this Christmas season and throughout the year.
We love good food. But we should remember Romans 14:17 "The Kingdom of God is not a matter of eating or drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit." The same is true for the holidays. It's not just about eating Christmas goodies and stuff like that. That stuff isn't going to last long, but God's gifts are ETERNAL gifts!
Romans 6:23 lists one of God's eternal gifts. Take a moment and read that one today!
In Luke 10:17-22 it tells us about how Jesus' followers were excited, and Jesus was also full of joy. Do you remember why Jesus was full of joy? (You may read that right now.)
You can also be full of the joy of the Holy Spirit! Remember, at this Christmas season, true joy comes -- not just from gifts and great food -- but from staying tied into the source of eternal joy - Jesus!
