Essence of Christmas

I was about to post a blog about Christmas a month ago but I refuse to continue it with no exact reason why. That's weird, I know. But.. As I reached home from Church earlier, I want to rush to my laptop and blog about the same subject reason and again I don't know why. This is becoming weirder, I admit. I re-read my notes about the Sunday service message and realize that God wanted me to post that blog topic with a reason. Uh-uh! For a purpose.

The last blog which I suppose to post says, "Christmas is getting nearer. Today is November 28, 2011 and few sleeps from now, it's already December". Now, it's really December. Few more sleeps, we'll celebrate Christmas. Everyone's busy doing shopping, bazaars are in just different corners; Christmas lights which excites are eyes more; parols and belens; station ids which gives people an inspiration; gifts under the Christmas tree make you wonder what's inside; decorations all over your house and a lot more. These are just a few representations of Christmas. I am sure this things make you excited. Everybody feels that way but what is really the meaning of Christmas?

Victory Makati opened this month's series entitled: COLORS OF CHRISTMAS

This series enlightens me more about this coming celebration, Christmas. 

"Christmas is not just a tradition. It has a deeper meaning."

-Pastor Joey Bonifacio

Do not just simply dwell on your own perspective about Christmas widen it more by remembering the deeper meaning. Jesus chose to be with us, he exposed himself into pains, accusations and sufferings because of his greatest love for us. 

"I have come to do your will, My God."

Heb. 10:5-7

Since I was a child, presents is the best representation of Christmas for me until then God himself made me realized the meaning of it. And the message made this beliefs stronger. I thank God because the message impacted so strong to me. The importance of my faith came out, too. God did not created us because he need someone to express his love with. He created us simply because he LOVES us. Isn't so sweet? We tend to look for the things and forget that God is always there, available all the time. Instead of praying, we surf the net. Why don't we share everything to God just like as we post a FB status and tweets? 

I am going far. Haha. 

Christmas is a time of giving too. Gifts will make you smile. But..

This coming Christmas, I just want you to think of its real essence of the celebration.

FOCUS ON THE CELEBRANT and his worth. 

PRAY your heart out!

This is more likely a reflection paper but I swear this will make you realize something. :)
