It's unfortunate that so many modern recordings of truly joyful songs such as "Come All Ye Faithful" etc are so dour in their presentation. It is sad that western culture has degraded to the extent it has, and that it's affected the church even, but there is plenty of opportunity to create music with theologically sound lyrics to reflect the times we live in. Taking Christmas music and making it sad sounding is just...I'll just leave it there. :/
You have heard that it was said, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous

Anxiety...all your cares
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow. For tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."
Matthew 6:34
That is so simple yet so utterly profound. Much of The Bible ultimately is the same way, but I think this passage really stands out, probably because it's so urgently helpful. Worry is arguably at least one of the most common and severe obstacles that stand in our way. It's difficult, perhaps next to impossible, to stand with joy *and* anxiety. At the very least one would need to switch between the two... Maybe I'm just blown away by that because I have so much time on my hands that I find myself worrying way more than I ought to without even realizing it sometimes
