Here's a word for all those who feel as if Christmas has been robbed from them. Here's a word for those living in a winter-land frozen and cold, seldom lit by the candles of hope. Here's a word for those who have had hope stolen from them by the brokenness of those around them...
I say to you, hurting child, and to you, hurting parent, with that waiting child still inside, please do not give up hope this Christmas! There is One who sees your tears, your prayers and silent lips, your waiting dreams -- and though you may not feel His gaze, His eyes are for you, loving and faithful. You can trust Him, even when you can't trust those closest to you...
And not long, though we cannot say when, yet it shall be -- the frozen winter will break, the creeks will run clear of ice, the leaves will burst through the snow, and the flowers will bloom again; yea, the gentle rose and calling dove will bless your faithful eyes, in joy!
That for which you waited in hope, you will find, though not by human means!
Selah.
