She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins. All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”). (Matthew 1:21–23)

For some of us, the holidays can make us feel alone. This season, for all its joy and wonder, can also shine a spotlight on our grief and shame, our worry and rejection. But the gift of Christmas is the presence of Jesus—God with us. He came not only to save you but to be with you and to know you. Because of Jesus, you never have to feel alone. Take a moment today to simply rest in God’s presence.
