Happy Day After Christmas

In years past the day and days after Christmas were always hard for me. Christmas was never what I expected or hyped it up to be. Even when I got the presents that I asked for it never truly satisfied my innermost being. If you're like me then depression waits for its opportunity to rear it's ugly head at any chance it gets.

This time of year is great for so many reasons but the greatest is the fact that others are searching for what they're missing and what has not brought them fulfillment. Just as God's working, His enemy is also.  He is looking to destroy families,  and cause loss and destruction during this season. This time of year I bet makes him angry that most of the whole world is signing songs about Jesus whether they know it or not. I believe that because of this, that scoundrel fights back harder.

The days after Christmas for some are the most emptiest times around. We live with a twisted hope that we can fill our emptiness with stuff, stuff that fades away such as relationships, a glass of alcohol, a temporary high, a new anything, even the fact that we can give to others. Some of those things are good such as giving to others or maybe even a healthy relationship but friends none of those fills the void that we have in our hearts. So when it's all said and done and the lights and decor come down that emptiness remains the same.

Remember this friend although this season will shortly be gone, God will never be gone. His unfailing word tells us that He remains the same forevermore! See, years before I didn't know this truth and even if you do know this truth it can often be twisted by the enemy and hard to live it out in our lives. Stay in your word friend don't lose hope or sight of the great light that is still within this world, the One who has taken residence in the life of the person who has invited Him in ♡
