Luke 15:10 (KJV)

"Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth."

One of the most challenging things is to give a gift to someone who already has everything. The only way you can try to touch the heart of such a person is to observe what gives them the most joy and then do your best to give along those lines. God is one you might be tempted to believe already has everything, but He does not. The Bible tells us that His desire is that no one should perish and that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). Yet, people are dying every day and taking the express train to Hell.

God's heartbeat is to see lost souls saved. That is what He desires the most. The scripture tells us that Heaven erupts with joy whenever one sinner turns to the Lord. Notice, our scripture for today says there is joy in the presence of the angels of God. That means the joy spoken of here is not the angels' joy. It is God's joy witnessed by the angels in His presence.

Just imagine God shouting for joy every time you lead someone to Christ and the angels getting so excited seeing Him rejoice that they join in the jubilation! Hallelujah! You can cause God to rejoice like that by giving Him the gift He desires the most – a soul that receives salvation. In this festive season, tell someone today about how the Lord changed you, healed your body, and lifted you out of poverty into abundance. Give God a reason to rejoice!
