Christmas Today (quoted from another blog but i love what he/she says)

"Just the other day one of my office colleague had bought her daughter to the office for the Christmas party in the office. I love kids, so I was asking her whether she knew why Christmas is celebrated. She gives me the biggest smile and tells me "Of Course, for Santa Claus and presents" . In short Christmas has become for Santa Claus and presents. It was festival to remember Jesus birth into this world, but the commercial world has decided to forget the true meaning of Christmas by replacing it with the material word of "Gifts".This is a true scenario not just for kids but also for all grown-ups. All of us rush to do Christmas shopping, gifts, food, party, drinks, friends. How many of us truly, sit quite and remember God's love. How many of us go to church on Christmas Eve...Church...no way that is a party day for most of us...How many of us open the Bible....sadly a very small percentage of people.God showered his love so much and all we do for him is to "Forget him". Still God continues to hold to us thinking one day we will love him as much as he does...Sometimes when I look at my own sinful life, I wish God would let me go, I don't deserve his love...but he continuously indulges all my vices... and teaches me gently the true meaning of life and helping me correct my sinful life....however wretched it is..I pray; that this Christmas instead of running after all the commercial things which only is a waste of money and needless energy, let us all open our hearts and give it to God...
God does not want anything else from this world. This world belongs to him, all he wants is everybody to love him as much as he loves everybody in the world. We are his creation, let us come before him worshipping and praising him...Remember Christmas is God's love to you...
so let us shower him our love...instead of forgetting him..Jhn 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

God Bless you.. Thank you for reading with me...

Have a wonderful Christmas remembering God's love, JG"
