So after Christmas past, is there more? Maybe for you it’s one down, one to go or maybe two more celebrations with family or friends. How was it? Was it all you expected it to be? Was it everything you hoped for? O.k so the bones are weary after all the preparation and the muscles ache now, on the let-down after the day. Perhaps it was a tough day for you, where expected, warm moments maybe weren’t so warm after all. Perhaps they turned into strained moments with uncomfortable meetings and greetings? Oh yeah, the hurt was brought back to the surface and what you thought had healed really wasn’t healed at all. Now, on the day after Christmas past, the struggles still hang on and the walls still surround and the battles are still there, yeah, even after Christmas! A wonderful time has come and gone, and your hope for reconciliation or acceptance or even just forgiveness just didn’t go as planned and it’s over once again and the emptiness of it all still sits heavy within your beautiful soul.
You need a sweet, hug from God today! A hug snuggly wrapped in His favour and blessing! A gentle hug so sweet and so tender that all the bad stuff pales in comparison to this grace hug from the One true Light of the World that shattered darkness, with His birth on that night so long ago! It was for you right here and now. Right where you are ~ He’s there still ~ to shatter your broken world and bring Hope and healing, into your moments of pain. So, when the struggles still struggle and the hurt still hurts,and the walls are still high and pain still goes so deep, even after Christmas, get with God and get to know His Son, Jesus. Let Him lavish you with a divine love so unconditional it will make you blush as you realize what He loves you out of with no strings attached. So today, when it all seems wrong and hard and when places are just difficult, let this true Jesus be your friend and light your way! That’s why “Christ”-mas came! To bring light and peace and joy into the world and to bring light and peace and joy into yours!
Psalm 34: 18
“The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
John 12:46
I am come as a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
