Because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.
- Luke 1:78-79
Wherever you are and whatever feelings come up for you this time of year, I am praying this verse over you today. Whether you are on cloud nine this holiday season or feeling the weight of loss or longing or loneliness, I ask that you would be held in the tender mercy of God, that God’s light would break into your darkness and bring you a deep and abiding peace with each breath you take.
