I have been warned by many that Christmas will be one of the hardest and loneliest times for me to endure.  To a point this has been true for me.  If I simply focus on myself and the memories that surround me, the tears begin to flow freely.  But that is due to our built in selfish nature. Remembering the reason why Christ came to earth effectively quells all those feelings of loneliness.  Jesus is the ultimate role model for every person at Christmastime. He came so no one has to be lonely.  He came to give us life.

• Psalm 16:11 "You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand."

• John1:4 "In him was life, and that life was the light of men."

• John 10:10 "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
  

Yes, Satan, "The Thief" would like nothing better than for us to focus on ourselves and be lonely.  He doesn't want us to see the real joy of the season of Christmas.  Don't let that happen to you. Focus on making Christmas special for someone else this year.  Enjoy the beautiful life that Christ has come to give you.  Give it a try, I know you won't be disappointed.
