Joy to
the World
Joy to
the world, the Lord is come! Let earth receive her King; let every heart
prepare him room, and heaven and nature sing, and heaven and nature sing, and
heaven and heaven and nature sing!
Are you experiencing joy in your life right now? I’ve always heard people say that happiness
can come and go, depending on your circumstances, but joy lasts and can never
be taken away. I’m not sure about that
statement, but I do know that in order to have joy, we must “prepare him room.”
In other words, if our heart is full of hatred, bitterness,
anger, and unforgiveness (to just name a few fillers), there is very little
room for Christ, or his joy.
A heart full of joy sings.
A heart full of joy acknowledges the King of her heart. And a heart full of joy has very little of
anything else but joy!
I know when my heart is full of other things, because it
feels heavy, sad, and tight. I have to
make a choice to bend my knee, acknowledge my weakness and let go of the things
that weigh me down, in order to make room for joy.
A joyful sound and a disgruntled groan cannot reside in the
same heart. One has to fade, and the
other increase.
Which will it be for you, this season?
