At Christmas, we remember that the light of Christ did not enter a spotless world, but a broken one. He came into the places marked by sorrow, fear, shame, and long-standing wounds, and He did not turn away. The miracle of the incarnation is not only that God came near, but that He came to heal.
Scripture tells us that Jesus came to bear our griefs and carry our sorrows. This means there is no corner of your story untouched by His redeeming work. As the old hymn reminds us, He comes to make His blessings flow far as the curse is found; into strained relationships, weary minds, anxious hearts, generational pain, and hidden struggles no one else sees. Christmas declares that restoration has begun, even where brokenness feels deepest.
The manger points us to a Savior who enters our weakness with gentleness and authority. He brings forgiveness where guilt has lingered, peace where chaos has ruled, and hope where despair has settled in. Healing is not always instant, but it is promised, because Christ Himself is present and at work.
This Christmas, may you rest in the beauty of a Savior who does not merely sympathize with our pain, but redeems it. The curse does not get the final word. Jesus does. And wherever His light shines, healing follows.
