If Today ...
If today …
If today is far from a Merry Christmas ...
If today feels more like a weekday and less like a holiday ...
If today you are struggling to be present or open presents …
If today you don’t feel like you fit in or there isn’t a place for you around the table …
If today you just want today to be like when you were 9 ...
If today is hard or weird or empty or hopeless or unlike what you thought it would be …
If today you feel like everything is uncertain and everything is unsure …
If today you feel like Jesus was born for everyone but you …
I hope you can find a moment of peace to sit with these words:
He came for you.
He came for you for days and seasons and moments and years like this.
He came for you for all of this and more.
Jesus came for you.
And that’s what i’ll hold onto today.
Merry Christmas, friends.
