Sometimes life just gets so heavy! Isn’t that the truth? And sometimes it’s during the holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas that we feel it the most. I think Satan likes to attack our minds and tries to steal the joy right out of us.
Yes, there are “heavy” things that weigh us down, but we have so much to be thankful for and so much to rejoice in as the Christmas season is upon us. Jesus IS the reason for the season! Without Him there would be no Christmas; there would be no hope – no hope of eternal life – no hope in the midst of those “heavy” situations. But He is the greatest gift to the world. In Him is life. In Him is hope. So take your burdens to the cross and leave them there! (Yes, the cross was always in the picture from the day of Jesus’ birth). Oh, what a wonderful Savior!
