THE THIEF OF JOY
Christmas comes with a lot of emotions and expectations from all areas of life. The thief (Satan) wants to steal our joy during this time and hold us back from experiencing the wonder of God being with us. We wrestle with insecurity as we compare our season to others on social media. We feel guilty for not getting our kids all they wanted or missing out on a family gathering. Sadness clouds the season as we miss those who passed away. Sometimes, we are even angry because of disagreements with loved ones. We must slow down and become aware of these emotions so we can address them in a healthy way to not allow them to steal our joy.
