The Holidays can be hard for those who are living without a loved one. Even more so when that loved one is missing and answers are nowhere to be found. The ache and longing can be particularly acute, and made even more painful when we imagine that others are celebrating this time of year more whole and surrounded by dear ones. Or even worse, imagining that our missing loved ones are somehow alone and suffering.
The truth is that there is nowhere that God isn't. Our loved ones were not alone when they went missing, and they are not alone now. The baby whose birth we are preparing to celebrate promised us He would never leave nor forsake us. "Lo, even unto the end of the Age..." He said, meaning not even at the end of the world, not even at the end of our lives, not even at the end of ourselves.
May you know the peace of His promises this Christmas.
