God is Faithful. Always.

Merry Christmas!

Jesus, our Savior is born - the One who took the sins of the world on His shoulders and died that we may live, humbled himself to be born of a virgin in a stable in Bethlehem.

When you truly think about what happened... what God endured for you, for me, because He loved us so much, it's amazing. 😭

I pray you have a blessed Christmas, that you are surrounded by family and friends, that you feel loved, and that you remember what Christmas is all about. Our Savior. Jesus. The Son of God.

"The virgin will conceive and give birth to a Son, and they will call Him Immanuel, which means God with us." ~ Matthew 1:23

"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." ~ Isaiah 9:6

"This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins." ~ 1 John 4:10

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." ~ Romans 15:13

Maybe you're like me and Christmas looks a little different this year. I pray that you find joy and are comforted. God is faithful and He will never let you down.

I put on some Christian music this evening, songs that I've never heard before, and one after another met me right where I was at. Tears filled my eyes as I read the lyrics and praised God for His faithfulness. He met me in my sadness and filled me with peace and love.

And He meets you too. In your pain. In your joy. In your grief. In your laughter. In your anger. In your fatigue.

Whatever is going on in your life right now, good or bad, Jesus is with you. I pray you feel His presence and are comforted. He loves you so much.

I love you too.

Merry Christmas, dear friends.
