Have you ever received a gift that needed to be exchanged for something that fit better or was more to your liking? Have you ever wished you could exchange your current circumstances for ones you'd rather have?
We can change very little that is happening around us. But what if we could change what is happening within us? What if we could change our hearts – our response to what is happening? What if we could exchange the fear and panic welling up inside of us for peace? What if we could exchange the terrible losses and pain 2020 has produced for deep and abiding healing in our souls? What if we could exchange the tears we’ve shed for joy? Who’d be up for that? I would!
Here’s the good news. We can! Jesus Christ is our Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, and Coming King! Because of Christmas we can find peace, joy, and healing in our hearts. Jesus invites you to bring your fear and anxiety, your pain and loss, your tears to him. In exchange, he offers to give you peace and wholeness and joy!
