02 Christmas Promises for a Grieving Mom, Genesis 3:15 | Day 02 - a podcast by Ashlee Proffitt

CHRISTMAS PROMISES DAY TWO

I will put enmity between you and the woman,and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.Genesis 3:15

Whether you are here because you are a mama mourning the loss of a baby or because you are a friend who is walking alongside someone mourning, hoping to gain insight into their pain -- you know first hand that this world is full of hurt and pain and disappointment. It's broken.

The world as we know it is not the way it was created or originally designed to be. God designed the world in perfection and beauty (Genesis 1-2) and when sin entered the picture (Genesis 3) brokenness and pain and death entered. Many of us lived the majority of our lives blind to the brokenness around us. Yes, we experience a fractured world on a daily basis, but feeling the very real weight of death is something many of never experienced, until now.

When my son died, when I tasted death, it was in that moment that I fully realized my dire need for a Rescuer-Redeemer-Savior-King.

During this Christmas series I will share a promise that God has given us, a promise we can trust, a promise that is better than our definition of good. My prayer is that those promises would bring our hearts great joy, causing our hearts to trust our Father, our Savior and our King, through what may be a very difficult Christmas season.
