It was two weeks before Christmas. A drunk driver hit us. We were OK. Our car was totaled.
It's a bummer having your car totaled at Christmas. Even worse, to have your life totaled. Maybe, everybody else's "joy to the world" just makes the hurt in you even worse. Divorce, disaster, death, and depression. I mean they hurt anytime, but especially at Christmas.
But, in a way, Christmas is very much for you. Because Jesus says, "The Lord...has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted" (Isaiah 61:1). He came to deal with the ultimate source of all the hurt in this world - our sin. A world of people doing life our way instead of God's way. Leaving a lot of hurt. A lot of scars.
But Jesus was broken - on a cross - so you could be forgiven and healed. "Crushed for our transgressions," the Bible says (Isaiah 53:5). The healing begins when you put your life in the hands of this Savior who loved you enough to die for you.
And if you want that, would you come and chat with us live at chataboutJesus.com.
And let the healing begin.
