Void

Mary wanted to know how the conception of Jesus could be possible since she had not been with a man. This was the response the angel gave her in Luke 1:45 "And the angel answered and said to her, “ The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.”

We think of the Holidays as an exciting and joyful time, and it is in when viewed from the light of our Saviors birth. Truthfully for many the Holidays can also be a painful reminder of what they don't have, money, lost loved ones, distant family and so on. In someways the season can magnify what's missing. 

The Holy Spirit came upon her and the power of the Highest overshadowed Mary's and filled her empty womb with the Savior of the world. 

Genesis 1:1-3 says "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said "Let there be light"; and there was light..." If you are faced with an empty feeling this season know this; our God is a God who knows how to take the darkest and emptiest spaces and fill it with something beautiful and amazing. He will not only fill the voided space but He will pour in His light in mighty and amazing ways!

God sees our hearts when they are broken, He knows when life feels empty. But if we will seek Him we will find Him and if we trust Him, He will take our empty and overflow it in ways we can't even begin to imagine! #Jesusisthereasonfortheseason
