When the Christmas gift we are most longing for is a miracle, remember the gift of Christmas is a miracle.
Do not despair, do the opposite!
In the midst of opposition, pain, sorrow and suffering, we must do the opposite of what the enemy is enticing us to do. Believe, remain joyful and hopeful, brave and courageous, full of faith overcoming every spirit of despair, while patiently waiting and expecting to see the goodness of God in the land of the living.
