It’s easy to be cynical, to look only for the worst in people and in the world. You don’t have far to look: the nightly news is filled with bad news.

But to focus only on the negative is to develop a hopeless world view and we do NOT live in a world with no hope.

We have hope in the form of a Savior, Jesus, sent by God to rescue us from hopelessness and despair. So make ready:

“Joy to the world, the Lord is come. Let earth receive her King. Let every heart prepare Him room.”

Amidst the sorrow of loss, the pain of broken relationships, the anger you may be feeling about where you are in life, there is joy in the world. The question though is: “Is your heart ready to prepare him room?” Pastor Jim.
