Today in church we meditated on Isaiah chapter 9. The bit that jumped out at me was verse 3 which says:
You have multiplied the nation and increased its joy.
I had never thought about it before but joy doesn't come in standard sizes. If you have a tiny bit of joy, it can increase. If you have lots of joy, even that can increase. In fact, how ever you are feeling, your joy can increase.
So have a joyful Christmas everyone!
And not only Joy! - bathed in the Holy Spirit the whole fruit can grow, like a gigantic orange with seven segments - Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness and Self-control. What a Great and Bountiful Father God we have!
