"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
For some, the holiday season brings about feelings of great joy and an overwhelming sense of love and hope. For others, the holiday season brings about feelings of anxiety, fear, loneliness, and a reminder of what they don't have. For others, they find themselves in the land between both the mountain top and the valley below. Wherever you find yourself during this holiday season, it is my hope and prayer that you know these things:
You are loved.
You make a difference.
The God of the universe loves you - and don't you dare let anyone tell you differently!
You are beautiful, YES, YOU!
It gets better.
You are not alone.
Hold on to hope... even especially when you feel like letting go.
You may not believe one, some, or all of those statements, but I do. So if nothing else, know that there is someone out there who believes them to be true for you. Yes, YOU!
