I sometimes think that people who seem joyful must be stronger than the rest of us. Like, they have something in them that makes them able to be strong enough to have enough joy to overcome whatever happens to be around them.The Bible actually speaks of this in different terms. Instead of joy making people seem strong - the joy people have in the Lord actually is their strength. Joy and strength aren't just related, they are the same - or at least they come from the same place.In this Christmas season I hope we can gather together and encourage each other - to be strong - in the Lord.
