Merry Christmas! It's December 1st and I wanted to share a brief encouragement audio / video message with you.

Read Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:22-23, Isaiah 9:6, Hebrews 13:5, and Deuteronomy 31:6.

I Love Christmas. However, I was reminded of this song I heard a while back by Nat King Cole and honestly it has to be the most depressing “Christmas” song and honestly I don’t know why it’s considered a Christmas song anyway as it’s titled “the little boy who Santa Claus forgot”…and it tells a story of what Santa forgot to bring this little boy. As I recall he didn't get toys, didn't a family, etc.

Don’t waste your time googling it unless you feel like being depressed which is ridiculous. Don’t go there…it’s just a horrible song!
_
No, I’m not trying to depress you because in reality, Christmas should be full of celebration, joy, hope and wonder because God did not forget you and I!
_
He is Emanuel, God with us just as the Scripture says. Jesus is also the prince of peace and we celebrate His entry into the World during Christmas…the most incredible birth and birthday ever!
_
While I know it doesn’t always feel like the most wonderful time of the year as it can be a very tough time for many, my prayer for all of us is that we remember that God didn’t and won’t ever leave or forsake us. He sent Jesus to save us…to be Emanuel!
_
So, no matter how Christmas might feel at times, may you be filled with Hope this Christmas remembering God is with you, He loves you, He won’t ever leave of forsake you, He knows your name and knows what you’re going through. He is with you. Let Him be Emanuel to you because that is Who He is. Merry Christmas!
