This is a word for some of you who are feeling guilty for being unhappy. You know that you are a Christian and this is supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year, however, you are just not feeling very festive. There is difference between happiness and joy. Happiness is an emotion and it would be ridiculous to be happy that you just lost a loved one. It is hard to smile when you are discouraged, feel all alone and are facing a battle that no one knows about. Joy is knowing that through it all you belong to Jesus and He is working His plan for your life. I encourage you to take off the Super-Christian cape and let go and let God and thank the Lord for what you do have. It is not your job to figure everything out. Your job is to trust His, give Him your pain and broken heart and receive His joy which will give you the strength you need to make it through the holiday season. You can do this! I am praying for you today!
