It's Christmas! It's Love All Throughout.

12/18/2013

It's the time of the year again
when everything seems to glow
and get more meaningful.
​No other time  compares to it.

It's different when it's Christmas. 
You feel it inside and out
​that it's merry and happy 
and everybody feels the same way too. 
The air is thick with love, 
and everywhere you go 
you smell it even though you don't see it. 
Love is invisible but you can easily know 
it's there especially this time of the year. 
You can never miss it. 
And there's no way you can ignore it. 

One wonders why Christmas brings 
a sudden change of atmosphere - 
from one that's sad to one that makes you glad, 
from one that feels lonely to one that makes happy. 
And it's been like that for years and years already. 
You want to spend it with loved ones - 
those people you care about for very long time. 
You want to be with them all throughout the season. 
You want to party with them and eat with them. 
Not a single moment is to be wasted. 
You feel you miss them even 
more this time than anytime of the year. 

But we have to remember 
the most important thing about Christmas. 
It's the birth of the Son Of God, 
our one and only Savior Jesus Christ who came into being 
to save us all from our wrongdoings. 
He came to remind us that Someone Supreme loves us 
and has been loving us ever since the universe began. 
One may think that this isn't so, but it is. 
We have a Supreme God ruling over 
our very lives every minute of the day. 
We may think we have control of our lives,
but we don't. 
It only appears so. 
But the fact is,
​we can always do and plan for anything 
but God has the final say. 
There's no way we can achieve anything 
unless God wants us to, 
and there's no way we can have 
what we wish for if God refuses. 
Whether we get what we want or not, 
we should accept that. ​​
As long as we live, we should praise Him, 
thank Him, and the hardest part, 
obey Him in His commandments. 
We can't do it all right away, 
but we can always try little by little
with hope in our hearts. 
After all,
that's what we were all created for. 
We are no more than clay,
​ and God is the Potter. 
He shapes us into anything He wants 
and we have no right to complain 
about the His way of doing things. 
He is perfect, and all He does is perfect too. 
There's nothing that we can contribute - 
nothing to add to Him and nothing to subtract.

So never forget that Christmas 
is a time for love and a time for God.  
Love is God in the first place and vice versa. 
And loving God is loving one's fellowman too. 
This is also the time to give 
and share even with the little we have 
and the time to hope that 
the coming year will be a better one.
