Last Sunday was the lighting of the third candle of the Advent wreath, a pink candle meaning joy. A present personally given to each one of us, by our Lord and Savior. What does this mean? How do I get this gift of joy? We find joy throughout our lives, in different ways and levels. When people of their own free will choose to do loving things for us, this pure love act brings us great joy and happiness. God feels the same way. He wants love that has come from someone of their own free will.
How do I receive this gift of joy from Jesus? By praying to him. Freely choose a time that works for you, develop a prayer style to your liking and talk to Him. Love Him with everything that you say. Thank Him for everything that He does for you. Acknowledge His Divine presence in your life. There isn’t anything that He won’t do for you to show you that He loves and cares for you. His pure love for you, is what brings you joy and happiness. When He helps you at different times in your life, this brings great joy to your heart, because you know that He loves you.
You might ask yourself, why do I have to ask when He knows everything that I’m going through? Why do I have to pray? One simple rule, He doesn’t violate anyone’s privacy or boundaries. He doesn’t take self accomplishment away from anyone. He respects the free will of each individual. Develop a relationship with Him every day, one that embodies a spirit of respect and admiration for His Divine Being. At every moment in your life, turn your heart to Him. He will give you gifts so you can get through anything. Be a conquerer in and throughout your life. You can accomplish this by holding onto His hand, as you walk throughout your life with Him.
