Merry Christmas everyone!
Praying that you will get to enjoy His presence today and always.
THE BEST GIFT HAS BEEN GIVEN.
Not everyone is looking forward to celebrating Christmas just like the others.
Some will now have that empty seat in their tables.
Some with an empty space under their Christmas tree.
Some with wet pillowcases and broken hearts.
There are people finding this season difficult to celebrate. And so, my hope is that may we be more sensitive and may we show compassion, comfort and understanding to those going through hard times.
And to those whose Christmas would not be a merry one—those which have suffered loss and heartaches—know that the Lord Jesus Christ is with you even in your pain.
As it is written, “Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted” (Matthew 5:4).
Despite the pain of the moment, the One who comforts provides hope as well for the future. It is okay. There is no rush. He sits with you in your brokenness, patiently and constantly loving every bit of you. To you, you are a lost case, but to Him, you have been found. For the Son of Man came, to seek and save the lost—and that includes you.
And to you, who is seeing Christmas as a time not of joy but of sorrow and grief, may you find strength in this truth:
“He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted.”
Luke 4:18
He came for you.
He came for the broken,
the weak,
the lost,
the oppressed,
the captives,
the sinners.
He came for you and me, for us to have LIFE.
It may be dark to you now, but know this—healing is taking place even if you do not see it yet. And to those who believe in Him, it is not forever sorrow. For the promise to every child of God is this—you would not remain in darkness.
Here is my prayer for tonight:
Lord, you know those who are hurting right now. It could be because of loss, of illness, of lack or of brokenness. Thank you because you understand each one of your creation that even if tears are their only way to speak to you, we know that it is more than enough to you.
Thank you because you are the God of comfort, the God where they can cast all their anxieties because you care for them. Help them see that you are with them, not rushing their feelings and never pressuring them to do more than what they can at this time.
You said in Your word that you will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You. Lord, may you help them to trust You even more—even at their most difficult times.
You are the light that shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. Thank you Jesus because their weeping is not final,
but Joy is,
because of You.

“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
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:13
Hope is still present.
You are moving to healing.
Joy has come.
He has come.
All the love, with the love of God,
Faith 🤍✨

It makes me sad to think of all the years I lived and didn’t think much about God. I can’t thank him ENOUGH for bringing me back to Him. These past 5 or so months have probably been the hardest in my life, BUT it was to lead me back to Him. If I hadn’t have stopped my meds I wouldn’t have found a Church or be getting married. I wouldn’t be in prayer multiple times a day crying out to my Father. He brought me home to Him. How amazing is that?? God is good. I thank you Father God that you opened my eyes and ears to the truth. I just wanted to say tonight how much I love God and Jesus. That is all.
