The kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and <strong>joy</strong> in the Holy Spirit. Romans 14:17</p>
<p>When they saw the star, they were <strong>overjoyed</strong>. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Matthew 2:10-11</p>
