If your Christmas season has contained or been overrun with bad events, stay positive by finding a blessing within the event(s). God often hides his greatest blessings within horrific events. Don't judge a book by its cover or a person by his clothing or looks. Look inside to find the beautiful gift hidden within. How often I have made the mistake of seeing only the bad in an event or person to have it or them turn out to be a tremendous blessing. Let's be positive to follow the example of our Lord Jesus.
Who in ancient times would have thought torturing and then nailing our Lord to a cross would turn out to be the greatest life-changing event, the gift through faith to live forgiven and know personally our God, that mankind has ever witnessed?
Tragedy, turmoil...? You cannot examine an unwrapped gift. Give it time to be unwrapped and examine it more closely before you jump to conclusions. In the interim, you may need to ask God for a stronger back - a gift every Christian could put to good use.
