Having just finished Christmas, I still have the baby in the manger pictured in my heart. Joy came to the world, when Immanuel, God with us, arrived to change the world forever. If your journey is lacking joy, I hope you can imagine a very pregnant woman on the back of a donkey, trekking over hills and valleys to reach the town where they had to pay taxes. Not too much joy for any of the characters of this story. BUT, joy was about to be born. Jesus came to bring joy to the world. Whenever your journey gets tough, think about the end product of the journey Mary and Joseph were on. Heaven came down to earth, and Jesus was born. Keep your eyes on the prize, and experience joy for your journey.
Joy for Your Journey
It wasn’t so simple
To load up and go
To pay family taxes
On a long dusty road
But Mary and Joseph
Did all that and more
There was no room inside
So they slept on the floor
The joy of their journey
Was a sweet baby boy
Born without any granduer
Who brought the world joy
Joy came to the world
On a night that was dark
He gives joy for your journey
When you give Him your heart
