Being born from a poor family,
as a kid, I always thought Christmas is about just having gifts
and wishing all your dreams would come true.
Then when I was in my highschool days, I thought
Christmas is just about being with friends you like,
having an awesome family for Noche Buena, exchange gifts, gift-giving and all.
When I started to work and earn my own money,
I thought Christmas was about enjoying the holidays, buying all the things you wished for or thanking God for leaves, offs, vacations, bonuses etc.
Yes.
I could say, I was able to get most of the things that I dreamed of.
I was even able to buy myself my own gifts,
It's cool when you start to earn your own $$$...(really)
But you see, in between those moments,
I wasn't really satisfied deep within.
I thought to myself,
" Is this really Christmas is all about? If it is, then it's so shallow and meaningless."
Then I started to ask questions to God and was able to dig deeper about life.
And I am so blessed that He led me to know that Christmas....is about love.
It's about Jesus who came down to earth as a human being so He could
save us all from hell.
But of course, not everybody is pleased and would believe in this truth.
So people around the world, ( excluding Believers of course) celebrate Christmas
with gift-givings, parties here and there, get drunk and get a migraine after.
Hahah! I am not against all these cuz you see , I am basically a fun person.
My point is,
Christmas.
It is so wonderful that it happens around the world and every year!
Just makes me smile thinking the world is celebrating on my wonderful savior's birth.
But sadly, athough everyone is celebrating it, they never thought of who is the celebrant.
It's like having your own birthday party, but the guests don't know you.
Funny right?
Anyways,
This Christmas, I can truly say, I am grateful for what Jesus has done at the cross.
And our awesome God...wooow!
He really planned all these so you and I could be reunited with Him through Jesus.
How cool is that?
God wants you dude!
Booooy! This is the best gift ever!
You see, material gifts are good for pleasures and happiness.
Celebrations are awesome.
But they are only temporay.
They only give temporary happiness.
But thias truth that I found out, makes me want to jump for joy.
Yes,
Christmas....it is all about my Jesus....
Tomorrow, me and my friends are just going to have a simple dinner to celebrate
with Jesus.
Maybe we would be able to watch some fireworks here in Singapore, that would be awesome.
Yes, I want to celebrate this day with Jesus...
And I am sure, He will be there to celebrate with us too.
He will be very busy around the world.
So that's all my thoughts for today dear friends.
May you have the most special wonderful, Christmas ever!
Forget all your worries for awhile. You got Jesus!
