Is Your Heart Weary?

Christmas can be a difficult season when you are suffering. The Hallmark movie version of the season is in sharp contrast to the pain of our reality.

The true meaning of Christmas is that God chose to enter into the broken, messy, painful reality of our lives. The reason for Christmas is that we are desperate, and that God came to rescue us.

Suffering reminds us of how desperate we truly are, and creates a deeper longing to be rescued. For that reason, suffering during the holidays can be a sweet gift – helping us to more deeply appreciate the truth of God drawn near.

Sign up here* and receive my eBook “Advent Devotionals for Weary Hearts”:

I share illustrations from our daughter’s cancer journey a few years ago, but the truths of who God is and what He has done relate to anyone, and any suffering.

I have included reflection questions at the end of each devotional for you to journal through, or discuss with a friend.

May you be encouraged this Advent season that God has drawn near to you, and that he will continue to walk with you through your suffering.

Love,

Marissa
