I wonder if Joseph felt worried and depressed because he couldn\u2019t properly provide for his new family far from his own village? Even baby Jesus \u2013 was he experiencing the loneliness of being separated from his Heavenly Father for the first time in eternity?<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps Jesus considered it worth it to be alone, misunderstood and betrayed in his lifetime in order that he might fulfill the Father\u2019s destiny for him. <strong>\u201cHe has sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to captives.\u201d<\/strong> (Isaiah 61:1) Are you the one who is broken-hearted this year, do you feel captive to loneliness?<\/p>\n<p>He came for you.
