Christmas, though we associate with jolly music, decadent recipes, colorful packages with shiny ribbon, and celebration, is not the absence of pain. Christmas is not the absence of suffering.

And if you're thinking, "Okay, but my heart is broken in two. This pain I feel is real. It's overwhelming. If there's a God who feels, a God who cares, wouldn't He see the injustice of the world and His heart would break?"

May I remind you friend, it does. God's heart breaks when He sees our pain and suffering. I know this sounds comforting but it's not just a nice-to-hear, it's the truth. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. Walk with me back to Genesis.
