Christmas—it's the most wonderful time of the year! Or...

Maybe it’s more accurate to call it the most stressful time of the year. 

If you’re struggling this Christmas season, believe me—you’re not alone. Meaning, of course, you’re not the only one who struggles. (I share my story in this episode of Live the Bible.) 

But you’re also not alone because God is with you. In fact, that’s what “Immanuel” means—“God with us.”

Christ is God’s gift for us. And if we can keep that in mind, Christmas really can become a wonderful time, because it reminds us to have hope in His coming for the second time.
