As I sit in the quiet of this Christmas morning .. my heart is full .. the heaviness I felt even yesterday is gone .. for today .. we celebrate the birth of our Savior “Jesus Christ” .. and yes .. with His birth comes peace and joy for us all .. yet friends .. there are people around us who are feeling hopeless .. weary .. and yes .. all alone .. that’s right .. during this time when hearts are overflowing with love and giving .. there are people we know that find this time .. a time of great pain and sadness .. for the troubles of this world can overwhelm even the strongest Believer .. haha .. for yes .. it’s true .. the joy of His birth can get lost among the commercialism of the season .. which is sad .. for God Himself .. sent His one and only Son to this earth .. simply to bring .. light and love to our lost souls .. haha .. yes sweet friends .. He sent Jesus to walk with us to give us His strength to overcome our problems .. He was sent to give us an abundant life that lacks no good thing .. His birth brought us a promise that can never be taken away .. for yes .. it’s the promise that those who believe in Him will have a life with purpose .. and yes .. haha .. a reward that will never end .. for the truth is .. pain and struggles .. they can never destroy those who’ve been set free through His Love .. for yes .. He alone can open doors to our impossible situations .. and yes .. He alone can cause all things to be used for our good .. for yes .. it’s through Him that we’re more than conquerors .. and no .. our failures can never stop His love .. our troubles can never bother His perfect plan for our lives .. for yes .. His birth signifies a pledge to bring us peace .. no matter what we’re going through .. think about it .. He willingly came to us knowing that we’d reject Him .. yet .. He came anyway .. so yes .. if we find the joy of this season is overcome by heartache or struggles that cause us pain .. we must stay mindful of this simple fact .. that yes .. the hope He brings .. and yes .. the peace He promised is totally sufficient to meet any need .. and on top of that .. haha .. His power is strong enough to safely take us through all circumstances while giving us great joy .. even in the midst of the struggle .. for yes yes yes .. He’s faithful to make a way even when the road is closed .. and no .. He’ll never leave us to carry any burden alone .. so yes .. here we are .. it’s Christmas Day .. and yes .. we’ve been given the greatest gift we’ll ever need .. take heart sweet friends .. Christ our Savior is born .. and yes .. haha .. oh yeah .. love wins period
“For to us a child is born .. to us a Son is given .. and the government will be on His shoulders .. and He will be called Wonderful Counselor .. Mighty God .. Everlasting Father .. Prince of Peace”
