Blue Christmas: Mess & Mercy
/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 hope & 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 mess be less overwhelming than the mercy as you lean in to the tsunami of mercy offered to us with each new morning.
May your mess take a backseat to God’s ever-renewing, ever-present mercy.
May you allow yourself to live your mess out loud as you remember that nobody has it all together anyway, so we might as well be messy together.
May you let Jesus, the savior of the world, hold your mess so that you might deeply know his mercy.
