Just a reminder for anyone who is spending the #Christmas season with fear or hurt or worry. Be honest, be truthful about the hurt. Don’t ignore it for the sake of the season. Just remember you are not alone. #Emmanuel means #GodWithUs and that means #rightnow. . . #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #christmasbooks #advent #christmastime #sundaymorning #sundaymotivation #sundaythoughts #merrychristmas

The old, familiar carols are playing everywhere right now. #Christmas songs are being sung by crooners and rockstars, in malls and coffee shops, airports and gas stations. In our hurry and worry, may we not forget to pause and listen to the message we most need to hear. #peaceonearth #restingmerry . . #christmastree #christmasdecor #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #author #writer #advent #holidayseason
I don’t know how you’re doing today, 14 days before #Christmas, but my #prayer is that you will remember this: when facing something terrifying, scary, worrisome, or troubling, heaven has a word for you. . Reassurance. . The angel sees the fear. He can sense that the calm world the shepherds expected has been shaken to the core by this sudden, unexpected moment. . And before he delivers what God has been promising since the beginning of time, he pauses. “Hey—guys. I know this is scary. I understand you’re frightened right now. But trust me in this: you are going to be okay.” . That’s what #reassurance is. It’s calming the fear, acknowledging the worry, and restoring hope. Eternity knows where you’re at. It doesn’t ignore it. As you think about the Christmas story today, remember: your fear is so important to God, He will pause in the middle of what He is doing to remind you: “It’s going to be okay.” . #RestingMerry #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #christmasbooks #advent #christmastime #christmasstory #holidayseason #tuesdaymotivation #inspirationalquotes #inspiration #christianlife
"He knows our need, to our weakness no stranger." This is because when divinity wrapped itself in humanity, He became fully, 100% like you and I. Same body. Same world. Because to be "God with us" He had to be "God like us." You can't truly be "with" anyone who you can't relate to. You can't be "with" someone who is distant because of stature or position or power. May you feel the "thrill of hope" today as you remember this incredible, wonderful, inconceivable truth today. . . #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #christmasbooks #advent #restingmerry #incarnation #oholynight #christmas #christmas2019 #christmastime
If it’s been a few years since you’ve actually read #AChristmasCarol, you may want to give it a read this #holidayseason. While #CharlesDickens’ book is a #Christmas classic, it’s not about Christmas. It’s about what I call #restingmerry and living a life of goodness, peace, joy and mercy for your fellow travelers every day of the year! . . #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #christmasbooks #christmastime #antiquebooks #holidays #christmastree #christmaslights
