As the holidays approach, those who have dealt with loss often experience deep grief, which has been described as “just LOVE with no place to go”—all the unspent love gathering in tears and a hollow chest. We need to turn that love around and give it out to our families, the poor, and the lonely, letting that love flow with our tears and paying it forward as we remember those we miss.

Life and we ourselves are in constant change, making a personal relationship with Christ vital so His spirit can change and mold us to be Christ-like. We should embrace the change by remembering the simple prayer, “Heavenly Father, I don’t know what the future holds, but I know YOU hold the future,” trusting that God’s Spirit is guiding us and that everything changing is part of His plan.

We live in challenging times where the rules and our energy seem to change daily, but we can embrace the challenge of staying positive by ignoring our feelings and committing our lives to Jesus each morning. The most important challenge is staying close and committed to Jesus, who is at our side to lead us through the challenges of life if we face them head on.

Darkness can be profound in our lives, bringing fear, depression, and loneliness, but the Light of Jesus Christ is present even in the darkest times. When we strive to look and move towards the LIGHT, we can move beyond depression, loneliness, and fear, trusting in God’s promise from Isaiah 42:16 that He will turn the darkness into light.
