Revival. 

What huge excitement when my Son Jesus came into the world!  The angels rejoiced!  I sent Him not to condemn the world but so that you can be saved.  It hurts me so when you think that I want to sentence you.  My plan is to bring you life not death!  Receive my gift of blessing you.  How I love you!

O Lord, that is your plan, to bring me joy and freedom, not despair.  Thank you for sending Jesus so that my heart can sing instead of mourn.  Thank you for saving me instead of condemning me.  Fill me with excitement as I celebrate the birth of your Son Jesus.  Revive me with your joy, O Lord.
