Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call his name Immanuel. (Isaiah 7:14)
I have had psychiatrists tell me their schedules are overloaded with people who find the Christmas season almost more than they can bear because of their loneliness and isolation.
Christmas is God’s reminder that we are not alone. God revealed in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus a reconciling love that rescues us from separation and loneliness. We are not alone; God has come down from Heaven to tell us He loves us!
At this Christmas season you can be assured that Jesus Christ is here. He is here to give us Hope, to forgive our sins, to give us a new song, to impart faith, and to heal our spiritual wounds if only we will let Him.
If you are lonely this Christmas, welcome Christ into your life. Then ask Him to help you reach out to someone else who is lonely, and show the person His love.
-Billy Graham, “Hope for Each Day”
