Merry Christmas!
Dear Friends,
At this time of the year we say it over and over again: “Merry
Christmas!” But let me ask, “Are you really feeling merry right now?”
Perhaps today’s attached devotional will lift your spirits. God bless you.
Because of Calvary,
John Janney
Proverbs 17:22 (ESV)
A joyful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
