Christmas - Melinda Estabrooks Advent Devotional

In this powerful devotional, Melinda Estabrooks shares a deeply personal story of heartbreak and healing. When life shattered around her, leaving her feeling abandoned and broken, God’s promises became her anchor. Inspired by Psalm 147:3, Melinda reflects on how Jesus brings not just physical healing but also restoration for the deepest wounds of the heart. Through trauma and loss, Melinda discovered two life-changing truths: Today is not your forever, and God will never leave or forsake you. These truths carried her from despair to hope, reminding her—and all of us—that our identity is rooted in God’s unchanging love. This Christmas, as you reflect on your own challenges, invite Jesus into the broken places. His presence offers peace, renewal, and a hope that never fails.
