Today as I think about this season of celebration we started in November, I am aware the holidays are most often viewed as happy, joyous, and full of fun with family and friends. But not many years ago this time of year was so painful for me. It was a reminder of loss, suffering, loneliness and heartbreak. There are memories of all the ones who passed away, who shared this special time. Then, the realization, there could be ones who will not be present because of relationship problems.There will be those who live far away and can't make it home. Regardless of the reason, it still hurts.
The hurt we are experiencing is just what Jesus specializes in. He is "The Comforter, The Mighty God, The Prince of Peace, He is The Healer, The Wonderful Counselor, He is The Great I AM, He is Hope, Joy, Truth, and Wisdom from the heart of God the Father. This is His time of year. This is the time we celebrate His birth. The" Indescribable Gift" from God to us.
I want to encourage you to accept Gods gift to you, Jesus. If you have not received Him as your Lord and Savior, there is a tab at the top of this page, entitled Jesus-Your Salvation, which can give you more information about Him. He is waiting for you to come to Him. If you have accepted Him, I want you to apply His grace to your pain. His amazing grace which will help you as you go through this time of year. He wants to help you. He wants to love on you and be the great God, He is, in your situation. Let me assure you from His word. Nothing is too hard for the Lord God of the Universe, Nothing.
Will you take His grace and apply it? He is waiting on you. Go to Him now and tell Him everything.
