Joy to the world

---------------------------------------------------------

In actual fact Jesus was meant to bring joy to the world. And, on the days that I experience this joy, I feel for the people who may never have. By saying this I don't mean to be patronising, but much rather the opposite.

This joy that comes from deep within is the smell of freedom. The freedom to be you. The you whom you were created to be. The you who is  free of your inner demons, the you who loves yourself, the you who is free from hate and poisonous feelings. The you who is as light as a bird. Free to love, free to live and free to be a light.

Now what did this man Jesus do to bring this joy to the world?
This joy was predestined for man. It existed since the beginning of existence, but was forgotten by man.
Jesus came to remind mankind how to rekindle this joy in themselves and become complete.


We are the masters of our destiny. There is no need to look at life forlornly and think of  the 'what ifs' and 'has beens'. It is up to us to pick ourselves up today and decide that we want better and we can do better. And by better I am not talking of some financial or socio-economic ladder. I am talking of our lives, what really matters to us deep within.
Now you might be wondering where does Jesus fit into this picture because I said we are the masters of our destiny. God and us are not mutually exclusive.
The good news that Jesus brought us was basically this-- know the creator God and love and respect him for He is your Father in the true sense of the word. He created you and we are His sons and daughters. Whichever religion you may follow the above holds good. The creator God IS our father and we are called in THIS life to wake up to this call and claim the heavenly joy which is our right.
It is this very important fact that we  mortals forgot along the way of evolution and civilisation and religionisms.
We have the power, the power of being Gods children. Anything in accordance with His will is possible in our lives when we love HIM.

So this Christmas may we purge ourselves of whatever oppresses us, whatever enslaves us, and rise up and claim our rightful position as children of the most high God. Let us rid ourselves of all the negativity that floats around us in the media and elsewhere which aims to cripple and subjugate us.

Let us arise - to be alive and joyful and free.

Signing off with a toast to freedom, joy and life.
