Mary and Joseph endured public scrutiny with unwavering faith. Their story teaches us a powerful lesson about carrying inner strength despite external judgments.

During this holiday season, you might be dealing with hurtful words or feeling lonely at gatherings where you don't feel welcomed. Remember this truth: You are deeply loved. God's love for you was so profound that He sent Jesus into this world specifically for you.

Perhaps you feel misunderstood because of your faith, just as Mary did. When she became pregnant through divine intervention, few understood or believed her story. Yet both Mary and Joseph remained steadfast in their faith, trusting in what couldn't be seen but could be felt deeply within.

This same principle applies today: when we carry Jesus within us, we can endure any challenge. He wants to transform your pain into joy. The angel's words to Mary ring true for you as well: "The Lord is with you!" (Luke 1:28 NLT)

Your faith might make you different, but it also makes you extraordinary. Like Mary, you carry something miraculous within you – a divine connection that transcends human understanding. You're not just surviving; you're living proof of God's ongoing miracles.

Remember: You are a miracle, created and cherished by God, regardless of what others might say or think.
