Joseph’s Faithfulness
When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.—Matthew 1:24–25 (ESV)

Reclaim Your Childhood Joy
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”—Matthew 19:14 (NIV)
Take a moment and reflect on the wonder and joy of childhood. Do you still approach the beauty of the world, the sunrises and flowers, with joyful abandon? God is your Father. He longs for you to accept His gentle reassurance that no matter what questions or concerns are pressing on your heart, you can awaken the spark of joy that lives inside you.
Heavenly Father, when I am feeling burdened by the weight of responsibilities, remind me to lean on You, for You are my Father and I am Your child.
