Day 15
A Different Kind of Joy
Greek: chara
A deep feeling of delight, rejoicing,
thankfulness, and celebration;
this joy looks beyond the moment
and present circumstances to
our future salvation and to our sovereign God,
who works out all things to our
ultimate good, which is Christlikeness.
With joy, light the candle. Notice how its radiance dances, echoing the joyous news of Christ’s birth. May this light fill your life with laughter, gratitude, and the warmth of shared moments.
Pray: Gracious God, in this season of anticipation, I lift my heart to You. I recognize the light, symbolizing joy, is also found in my relationships with You and with others. Fill my heart with compassion for those who are hurting, lonely, or in need. Inspire me to always be a channel of your love by bringing joy to those around me. Amen.
