"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given."—Isaiah 9:6

Why are we sad, lonely or depressed?   Why do we experience rejection, anger, bitterness, frustration?

if unto us a child is born, if unto us a Son is given.

“Hush murmuring. What matters our poverty? "Unto you a child is born." What matters our sickness? "Unto you a Son is given." What matters our sin? For this Child shall take the sin away, and this Son shall wash and make us fit for heaven.

I say -

Lift up the heart, lift up the voice,
Rejoice aloud! ye saints rejoice!
Charles H. Spurgeon

Why are our hearts so cold? Why is it that we do so little for Him who has done so much for us?

　

...If it be so.
