Ashley and Beth Love Jesus

This Christmas, I don’t have to be afraid—of anything. Can you say that today? Peace is something we all want, regardless of what our life looks like from day to day. If you’ve made Jesus the Lord of your life and the King of your heart, you have access to it this holiday, and every single one to come.

While Christmas is supposed to be merry and bright, it can also be dark and difficult, with emotions of loss and hardship. If you've ever tried to celebrate Christmas while you were going through a painful season of life, or know someone who has, this devotion may bring light and life to your soul.

The story of Jonah and the whale is often one you're taught as a child. But as an adult, the idea of a grown man being swallowed by a whale and emerging unscathed may sound absurd. Discover how Jonah ending up in that predicament can teach us what happens when you run from God, and how He'll ultimately find us every single time.
