My friend, if you are feeling sad this Christmas Season, know that you are not alone and it is ok! Christmas is not about Christmas parties and fellowship with family and friends, it is not about gifts under the Christmas tree or even being happy, it is about remembering why our Lord came to this world to bring us salvation. A lot of people feel forced during the Christmas season to be happy and joyful because that is what the Commercial Corporate world wants you to be. They portray families all getting along spending Christmas all together happily ever-after; but that is simply not the norm! Every family has it's problems.
The Christmas Joy is not found in material gifts my friend, it is found in the greatest gift ever given - Jesus Christ! Joy and Happiness are two different things. Joy comes from the inside where we have a peace that only Christ can bring - it is Christ's presence in our lives. Know that true Joy comes from knowing that our Savior Jesus Christ is with you and promises never to leave you nor forsake you; that He will fill your soul with a peace that only He can give. So if you are feeling sad, I pray you feel the loving arms of your savior Jesus Christ around you this Christmas season and know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.
