Labor pains ain’t just about the struggle—they’re about the purpose behind it. It’s the kind of pain that pushes you toward something greater, something you can’t fully understand until you hold the blessing in your hands. When a mother’s going through it, she’s in the middle of the storm, but when that baby’s born? All the pain gets outweighed by the joy of new life. That’s how God moves—He lets the struggle birth the blessing.
Now think about Mary. She wasn’t just any woman; she was chosen to bring the greatest gift into the world: Jesus. She carried the promise, went through the labor, and gave us the Savior. It wasn’t easy, but it was worth it. Just like her labor pains brought Jesus into the world, His life and sacrifice would later birth the promise of salvation for all of us.
The birth of Christ is a reminder that pain has a purpose. Sometimes you’ve gotta go through to get to. Those trials you face? They’re like labor pains—God’s working on something in you, preparing you for the blessing He’s already got lined up. Just like the world waited for Jesus, we’ve gotta trust the process and hold on to His promise.
So this Christmas, don’t just see the nativity scene—feel the story. Remember the labor that brought the greatest gift into the world. Jesus is that gift, proof that God’s blessings are always worth the struggle. Hold onto that hope, because the promise is real, and the blessing is always on time.
