Whether you had the best semester yet or you had the worst one by far…the Lord sees you! You are not alone and are not overlooked. All are your littlest cares matter to God.

You are known and loved by the Lord. The hope of Heaven is something His followers can cling onto during joyful times and hard times.

What a beautiful promise that Jesus humbled himself as a baby and came into this world to take on all suffering imaginable so we can know fullness of joy and love through a relationship with Him.

And his relationship isn’t based on performance!! This is so contrary to everything we encounter on a daily basis in real life. No test grade can get you into Heaven, and thank Jesus for that! There is nothing you can do to earn the grace freely given by Jesus. All you have to do is accept it and lean into His presence.

Jesus loved you so much that He bled and died on a cross for you so you could have life to the full. Why not take advantage of this life full of abundance?

Lean into joy that is available to you from Jesus Himself through time with Him in prayer the Bible, and in Godly community. Step into joy that isn’t circumstantial this Christmas!! Heavenly joy is so much better than any temporary joy we can attain from Earthly things!

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” John 10:10
