Empathy is essential to any relationship. The ability to truly understand and share someone else's feelings helps you grow past surface-level interactions with them and into a deep and meaningful relationship instead. Jesus came to earth to empathize with us and build a meaningful relationship with each of us. Jesus gifts us with a relationship filled with empathy, grace, and truth.
Today, reread John 1:14 and reflect on the wonderful empathy Jesus showed us by becoming human, just like us. Then, take a few minutes and write down what this empathy means to you.

“Joy to the world” is a catchy lyric, but real joy can seem totally impossible when life feels messy. When we think of “Christmas,” we think of “joyful celebration," but what happens when the holiday season doesn’t match what’s actually happening around us? We’ll discover that Christmas can still be a season of joy, even when life feels messy.
