As Christmas approaches, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by everything happening in the world — natural disasters, personal struggles, and a sense of instability. Maybe you’ve felt it too, wondering how to celebrate amidst so much uncertainty. Cookie Puno wrote an article that dives into this very question: Why Celebrate Christmas? It’s a reflection on how, even in challenging times, we can find deep joy and meaning in the true message of Christmas. In the article, she shares: - What Christmas really means beyond the lights, gatherings, and traditions. - The gift of righteousness that transforms how God sees us — as flawless in His eyes. - How the Holy Spirit fills and empowers us, even in our hardest moments. - Why being favored by God is a promise of hope and abundance for the future. If you’ve ever felt weighed down by life’s burdens or wondered how Christmas could bring joy to a hurting world, I believe this message is for you. Let this be a season of rediscovering hope, peace, and joy — not in fleeting things, but in the unshakable truths we celebrate through Christ.
