A NIGHT OF JOY

"And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."

Luke 2:10, 11
King James Version
Fanny B. Earle wrote a beautiful hymn about our Saviour "THE ANGEL’S MESSAGE". I love the words in this inspiring hymn.

"In the calm of that long ago night, Far away on the Bethlehem hills, There was seen a most wonderful light, By the shepherds who faithful watch kept. And the voice of an angel they heard, Saying Fear not, good tidings I bring; To all people proclaim the glad word, That a Savior is born, Christ the Lord.

Then the heavens with glad anthems rang; Glory, glory to God, the refrain; As the angel and heav’nly host sang, On earth peace, and good will unto men."

I am so thankful that Jesus left His Father, His home and all that He had to come to earth and die on the cross and pay the penalty for your sins and for my sins. It was the most expensive price ever paid for anything, His precious atoning blood.

Our Saviour didn't stay in that tomb, He arose and because He died and rose again you and I have the privilege of going to Heaven to be with Jesus when we die.

I have said this many times and I will keep saying it until God calls me home to Heaven. No one loves us like our Heavenly Father and Jesus love us and no one ever will.

The next time you are sad, lonely, discouraged and feel like going to bed and staying there, remember all that Jesus did for you and that He is waiting for you to come to Him with His arms open wide and a heart filled with unconditional love for you.

Jesus, I love You so much. Thank You for all You have done for me, especially for loving me when I was so unlovely. One happy joyous day I will have the privilege of seeing You face to face. I am going to give You a big hug and spend eternity telling You how wonderful You are and how much I love You.
