DONT tell me christmas is over. how can it be when it happens in my heart?
truly, Christmas is only Christmas when it happens in your heart.
THE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS. yes. and i'm reminded by Joyce that both City Harvest and our church are unanimous on that. YES. many people celebrate Christmas based on their own interpretations of Christmas. to many and even myself a few days ago, it is just "merry xmas". Never did i know that i were so wrong! That i could actually miss the whole and true point of Christmas. The Christ in Christmas! yes Esther! THANK you so much for the convincing entry on that. i'm convinced. yes, i used to think that it doesn't matter how we write, say or rep it, as long as u and i understand what we are talking abt. or so i thought.
but now, why am i so lazy to even spell the Christ in Christmas? why must i rep Christ using X? crossing him out when it is all about Him? to many, it may be a small issue. "what's the big deal? u know what i mean can alreadi." but NO. There's a whole deal of difference. Shall we trade Christmas for a Xmas. Shall we trade God's truth for the devil's lie? that its ok, no big deal?
Absolutely NOT!!
"They (man) exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served created things rather than the Creator- who is forever praised. Amen." Rom 1:25
u may think it's a small matter, but let's not let Satan even get a chance at the smallest thing!
let's claim victory in our Lord Jesus Christ's name. Amen!
sidetrack: Susu, my parents esp my dad used to be very against Christianity also. When i asked my dad whether i could attend church, he replied "NO!" almost immediately and angrily. that was when i haven't even started attending church. Now, they have accepted the fact that i've converted despite them being very involved Taoists. My whole family, in fact my whole paternal and maternal extended family are Taoists. generation of Taoists and to date, there are only 5 Christians out of the whole family. It's really not easy to have even come so far. and it's all bcos of God's grace. If u'll just believe. I did. will you?
Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Matt 19:26
It's the same with the rich man, and it can be the same for you too.
If you'll just believe.
may you know Jesus in your heart too.
and that Christmas wont be just xmas for you...
haven been blogging for quite awhile that i dunno how to start, feels so unfamiliar to something which used to be so familiar. so many things happened during this period of online absence that i dunno how to put them into words. maybe words cant describe them too. not well enough. humph. i guess i've changed, in one way or another, perhaps for better. dunno why i suddenly feel the urgency to serve God and study His word while i lost the urgency to do or pursue the things i once relentlessly desired.
God's changing me..
so now i'm caught at a crossroad once again.. i can understand if u say that i'm a conflicted person cos i think i am too.. dont wish to be that way too but i still have to make the choice.
i just hope that my decision will be something i'd have the courage to face up to. a decision that leaves no regret. a decision that makes me answerable to God.
:)
