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.

For anyone who’s ever felt invisible, overwhelmed, or unsure if they still want to keep going—this is for you. A reflection and a poem about the quiet grace of surviving.

As Sarah walked through the empty streets, she couldn't help but feel lost and alone.
