Blue Christmas: Faint & Faith
/Christmas is not the most wonderful time of the year for *everyone*. Various life circumstances and happenings can steal the joy of the season right from us. We experience grief, hurt, faintness of heart, and messy spirits.
The good news, though? No matter the state of our hearts? Christmas with Jesus offers grace, healing, faithfulness & mercy.
We bring him grief; He gives us grace.
We bring him hurt; He offers healing.
We bring him faintness of heart; He remains faithful.
We bring him our messy spirits & selves; He extends mercy.
Join me for this four-part series, each episode a snippet of hope, especially if your Christmas is more blue than it is merry & bright.
Today…
May your faint heart find rest in the easy yoke of a relationship with Christ.
May your faint heart find faith in knowing that it’s mostly God’s job to nourish your weary soul back to life, and resting in His faithfulness is a great way to let Him do that.
May your faint heart find confidence in the trinity, with a Father who offers hope for the hurt, a Son who offers grace for the grief, and a Holy Spirit who guides you through the mess by opening your eyes to God’s great mercy.
