Into The Silent Night

The snow is falling like I am for you
Hear the children singing one of our favorite tunes
Christmas trees, nativities
See the world in red and green

Into the silent night
With you by my side
Joy in a lonesome world
For this boy and girl
Angels celebrate
As we stand face to face
With God’s gift tonight
You and I

If you couldn’t tell, darling
I only have eyes for you
After rain, seasons change
Til Christmas day comes back again
Love remains

Sun and rain
Life and change
But through it all
Love remains

Because of Jesus we can always have joy in our journey through even the difficult ones.  To have it we must choose Him—true, authentic joy is only found in Jesus!

The prospect of the righteous is joy….
Proverbs 10:28

Does it mean we will always like the circumstances of our lives?  No.  However it does mean we can find joy in the journey.

“Joy is a way of living, it takes time to foster joy, it is the result of a hard won victory over entrenched attitudes of apathy, pessimism, doubt, unbelief and despair.  For true joy, Christ is the only source.”

–excerpt from Lynn Dove’s Journey Thoughts

So with you: Now is your time of grief,
but I will see you again and you will rejoice,
and no one will take away your joy.
John 16:22

This world is tough and the circumstances can be heartbreaking.  To have joy in our journeys even in the midst of all things…we must choose it.  We must look for the good in all things.  We must make it a way of living.  When you change your perspective and start looking for these things then your view changes.  You start to see the blessings hidden in disguise and that God never stops working.  True relationship with God is a daily adventure and it is so much fun.  When you start looking for Him, You will find Him…He is faithful in all things.

If you look for Me wholeheartedly, you will find Me.
Jeremiah 29:13 NLT

I wouldn’t go back to my old way of living without Jesus for nothing…the best days of my life have been with Him!

A single day in Your courts is better than a thousand anywhere else!
I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God
than live the good life in the homes of the wicked.
Psalm 84:10 NLT

Heavenly Father, thank You for the true joy that can only be found in You.  Thank You that into the silent night I will always have You by my side.  In Jesus’ name, Amen.
