Faithful Heart.

This Christmas was the most heartbreaking Christmas of my life.

Even still.

This Christmas, I was so thankful

For the birth of a healer.

For "Immanuel"--God with us.

For love.

For a Savior who gets on his knees,

holds my muddied face in his hands,

and calls me Dear One.

For a Lover who wraps His arms around me

in times when I feel most alone.

For a God who is always constant, always true.

For faithful friends who aren't afraid to listen.
