Rejoice, He is Born!

Our Savior, Jesus Christ, is born - a reason to rejoice. (Isaiah 9:6-7)
“For a child has been born for us; a son has been given to us.” (Luke
2:10-11) “And the Angel said to them, ‘Fear not, for behold I bring you
good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is
born this day in the city of David a Savior who is Christ the Lord.’”
We witness the angels rejoicing and singing on the night of Jesus’
birth. Mary, Jesus’ mother, said, “My spirit hath rejoiced in God my
Savior.”
Rejoicing is the will of God for us in Jesus Christ, our redeemer, who
saved us from the pit of sins so that we might have eternal life. These
days, loneliness, failure, rejection, uncertainty, and judgment are top
fears that hold people back in life. Stress, anxiety, or overwhelming
emotions can make the present moment seem frightening. Daily
hassles have contributed to increased stress, which is not the will of
God Almighty for us. Our Lord always wants us to rejoice in His name.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and
petition, with thanksgiving, present ourselves to God” (Philippians 4:6-
7). Heaven is what we long for after our earthly life, the reason for this
season, enabling us to rejoice ultimately. Simply conversing with God
brings peace and joy. No matter the circumstances, choose to rejoice.
Pray continually. Give thanks in all circumstances. Let us trust God’s
assurance, count our blessings, and strengthen good relationships.
Cultivating positive emotions maintains social connections. Let’s focus
