Isaiah 43:2 ESV When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.

Isaiah 41:10 ESV Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

The hug!!

This one was once again commissioned by our dear @i-am-as-normal-as-you-are and we actually talked about this scene quite a lot. Charles is still going through it, and he doesn't even feel like he should be getting the hugs he needs. Poor boy.

Micah 5:2 (NASB). “But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Too little to be among the clans of Judah, From you One will come forth for Me to be ruler in Israel. His times of coming forth are from long ago, From the days of eternity.”

Luke 2:10 (NASB). “But the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people;'”

“Our Coming Hope” By In Touch Ministried:

“This Christmas season, remember and celebrate the joy and hope we have in Christ.”

“The Old Testament is filled with prophecies about the coming Messiah. A few of them probably left people wondering how one individual could fulfill such lofty promises. The birth of such a person would be “good news of great joy,” just as the angel proclaimed (Luke 2:10). The Messiah would be ...

A descendant of Abraham seated on David’s throne. Matthew and Luke trace Jesus’ genealogy (Matthew 1:1-17; Luke 3:23-38). God promised that all nations would be blessed through Abraham (Genesis 22:18), and Isaiah prophesied that Christ would reign forever on David’s throne (Isaiah 9:7). The gospel writers showed that Jesus could claim direct lineage from both of these men.

A man born in Bethlehem yet called out of Egypt. Though the Messiah’s predicted birthplace was Bethlehem (Micah 5:2), He was expected to come out of Egypt (Hosea 11:1). We know that a census brought Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem just in time for Jesus to be born. And Matthew’s gospel explains the rest of the mystery: To avoid Herod’s jealous rage, the family fled to Egypt, returning to Israel only after the king was dead (Matthew 2:13; Matthew 2:20-21).

God was specific in describing the Messiah so people would recognize the Anointed One and take joy in His coming. Today, as Advent begins, let’s remember this good news and rejoice.”

I’m so ugly.

I could barely look in the mirror without tearing up. Frizzy hair. Eye bags. Pimples. Dry skin. Crooked teeth.

“I’m so ugly,” I whimpered. I hadn’t even noticed he was there, standing beside me.

“Ugly?” he mumbled. He looked…hurt.

“I’m hideous, look at this!” I whined, pointing at the blotchy spot on my face.

He sighed softly, placing his hand on my cheek and gazing down into my eyes.

“Sweetheart, I made you just the way I wanted you. In my image. You are so beautiful. I love you…but I don’t want to hear you say that ever again.”

I hadn’t thought about it like that. It was strange, seeing him upset. Hurt, even. But, he was right. He was always right. Calling myself ugly to my Father was like…telling an artist that their painting is ugly.

“I didn’t…I…I didn’t realize. Father I’m sorry” I mumbled, looking away. But he just smiled and wrapped his arms around me like he always did.

“It’s okay sweet girl. But look-“ he grinned, gently gripping my cheeks and facing me back towards the mirror.

And I looked the same. But so much different.

“Heh..” I couldn’t help but laugh a little as I stared back at the girl in the mirror.

“I guess I am kinda pretty”

John 15:13 NLT There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

And when I desire to rejoice, my heart groaneth because of my sins; nevertheless, I know in whom I have trusted.
