Christmas is all about Him

                 Eventhough how hurt I am, there are so many reason to take a smile. Eventhough the past months killed me with sadness, there'll always be a reason to be happy again. We have now reached the most awaited month. It's that time of year again. December has come and with it all the joys of Christmas. But what is the real essence of Christmas? Is it the gifts under your christmas tree, the different kinds and colors of lights in the windows, the cards that you will receive from your admirer, dinner with family and friends, socks hanging in the living room, and shouts of "Merry Christmas" to those who pass in the streets? Is this really Christmas? For many people, Christmas is a time of sorrow. They don't have the extra money to buy presents for their children, family, and friends. Many are saddened at Christmas time when they think of their loved ones who will not be able to come home because of various reasons. 

             Christmas can be a season of great joy. It is a time of God showing His great love for us. It can be a time of healing and renewed strength. Christmas is when we celebrate the birth of the Christ child. He was born for a purpose and it was sacrificing himself just to save the sinners and imperfect people like me. Christmas is not just about the expensive gifts, new gadgets and branded clothes, but it’s all about the birth of the Man who saved us from the death and payed for our sins, Jesus Christ. Christmas is all about Him. It makes me feel sad to see how people tend to forget the true meaning of it. They were blinded by the culture or the tradition they thought were all correct. What’s more disappointing, is that they are oblivious on their actions. They all thought that it was correct to celebrate that way for they never heard the truth. 

               Christmas is all about Him. Let’s celebrate it as how God wanted it to be. Let’s all celebrate Christmas with Him. We can truly be happy at Christmas! No matter what may be happening, we can know that we are His children. Let us love one another as respect to our saviour, Jesus Christ. The joy and peace you will receive will last all year as you look to God for all your needs to be met. Jesus Is The Reason For The Season! Rejoice!
