I have been alone, sad, hurt, and afraid because of the circumstances, situations, and emotions of my life for many Christmas Holidays. I was tempted to stay in the pit of darkness where all the depression, self pity, self loathing, anger, and resentment live and multiply. But what good is this pit to my heart, mind, and spirit? Will I find happiness there? Will my life be better? No!
The only ray of light in my heart comes from God. His light is my star, my compass, when I can’t see. It shows me the way to find the good, hope, salvation, and promise in my life. This star light can and will always penetrate the darkness when I allow it to.
I have discovered it is my choice to be imprisoned by my past and present negative perceptions and emotions or my choice to allow God’s light to heal and transform them with love, peace, and joy. I choose not to be the condition of my emotions or my situation but the promise I am through Christ. Only through God can I overcome the negative forces seeking to destroy me. Jesus is my rock, my shield, my strength, and my salvation. He is the heart of God coming down in human form to show me what perfect love, grace, and mercy look like on this earth.
Baby Jesus is my proof I have hope and salvation. He is our Messiah! He is Christmas.
If you don’t have someone to share Christmas with, open your heart. You are never truly alone when you reach out to Jesus and receive his gift of hope and love. He is there waiting just for you. Loving you, every breath you breathe.
