The holidays can stir both warmth and ache. For some, the table is full—but for others, it’s the silence that speaks loudest. If you’ve ever felt excluded, unseen, or longed for a deeper connection, this devotional is for you. It’s a reminder that even when others don’t show up, Jesus does.

Jesus didn’t abolish the Law. He became it. He lived it perfectly. He revealed its true purpose: not ritual, but relationship. Not burden, but beauty.

may never preach to crowds, but I serve with purpose. I post with prayer. I love with intention. And I trust that God sees every seed I sow—even the ones that bloom in silence.

One evening, she sat by the fireplace, staring at the cold ashes. Her journal lay open beside her, untouched. She whispered, “I don’t even know what to say to You anymore.” A soft breeze stirred the ashes. One tiny ember glowed faintly beneath the gray. She leaned closer.

There are moments when someone else enters the room—and warmth gathers around them like a halo. You sit nearby, quietly holding your flame, wondering if it flickers too faintly to be noticed.

This crease in the 'clay' possibly is what makes us stronger and builds Christian integrity

If we listen to the Holy Spirit within us, we have the hope whispering to us, 'it will be OK'.

I'd like to pray for us all now and hope that you all realize when I say I love you all, I truly do.

Prayer is no different than talking to another person. We should, of course, show reverence and praise to our heavenly Father.

"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit".
