Are you prepared for Christmas ?

It's that time of year again !! Welcome to most of our favorite month !! 

 December has come and with it all the joys of Christmas. Christmas preparations are already doing the rounds. ( I am already done with my Christmas and new year shopping, will post it soon :P ) I am sure all of you are planning on how to decorate the house this time, brainstorming on how different can you make the crib, what gifts are you going to keep under the Christmas tree, the lights in the windows, the cards , parties with family and friends, stockings hanging in the living room, etc.   But is THIS what Christmas is ? Is it all about shouts of  "Merry Christmas" or household preparations ? I want all of you to stop and think..

Christmas can be a season of great joy. It is the day our baby Jesus was born. It is a time of God showing His great love for us. His birth brought great joy to the world.  Shepherds, wise men, and angels all shared in the excitement of knowing about this great event. They knew this was no ordinary baby. And it is no ordinary baby. We are blessed to have Jesus born for us. God send His son to this sometimes cruel and hard world so that one day, He would grow up to become a very important part of history. His story (history) is one of truth, love, and hope. It brought salvation to all of us. Without Jesus, we would all die in our sins. Jesus was born so one day the price could be paid for the things we have done that are wrong. But are we worthy to accept him? Are we clean enough to be with someone so holy, so pure?

We all know the answer. Therefore I ask you, In the midst of preparation for feasts, prepare your heart for the coming of Jesus. Our hearts are often quite full of joy, sorrow, pain, guilt and many other things. I pray that you will make room in the center of your heart for Jesus Christ, and let him work His way in to the center of your life. You may think that you've tried this before and failed. We all make mistakes. By the grace of God, we are picked up and put back on our feet, and given another chance. You will be cleansed and forgiven and then worthy to accept Jesus into your lives and homes.

 "But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from every wrong."  John 1:9

We can truly be happy at Christmas, by knowing the true meaning of Christmas ! No matter what you’re going through, your God will never give up on you. We are sons and daughters of God. Heaven is our home.

Look at Christmas in a new way this year. This is the year to invite Jesus into your heart. You will then have a "Merry Christmas." 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! Do not take ‘Christ’ out of ‘Christmas’.

Have a Happy December !!
