Advent: Day 18: That Thou Mayest Rejoice

3 AND HE SAID UNTO ME: AWAKE, AND HEAR THE WORDS WHICH I SHALL TELL THEE; FOR BEHOLD, I AM COME TO DECLARE UNTO YOU THE GLAD TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY.

4 FOR THE LORD HATH HEARD THY PRAYERS, AND HATH JUDGED OF THY RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND HATH SENT ME TO DECLARE UNTO THEE THAT THOU MAYEST REJOICE; AND THAT THOU MAYEST DECLARE UNTO THY PEOPLE, THAT THEY MAY ALSO BE FILLED WITH JOY.

Because of our Savior, Jesus Christ, our prayers are heard and answered. Because He lives each of us has the chance to hear those words declared: He hath judged of thy righteousness! Thou mayest rejoice!

And then we can share that joy with those whose lives touch ours and share that immeasurable joy. Because He lives joy is. And it can be yours.

How have you shared the joy in your life lately?

  • How have I shared the joy? Great question!
    I like to think that by gong to the temple and sharing the ‘twinkle’ in my eye is a great way to start. I am never bashful about declaring my church goings when asked about my weekend, and I always try to share the feeling that the spirit shared with me through the lessons on Sunday.

    I try to share the joy by spreading positive energy to everyone I meet – especially online. ❤️
