Dear Friends,

Welcome to Day 11 of Meet Him at the Manger. Yesterday we found hope in winter’s chill—trusting that Christ brings life even to the frozen places. Today we remember that His light still shines in the dark, no matter how broken our Christmas feels.

Lisa Elliott reminds us that joy isn’t found in perfection, but in presence—the presence of the One who entered our brokenness to bring healing and light.

If this season feels dim, lift your eyes. The Light of the World still shines, and He hasn’t forgotten you.

With love,
Your JBU Sisters in Christ

✨ As you read, ask Him to let His light shine through your cracks and fill even the broken places with joy that lasts.
