i cant contain.... i got things to say this Christmas eve. Attended service just now....and it was quiet. Where have the people gone to? To celebrate? shouldnt they come to worship God? cos there's where the true reason for Christmas lies! haiz......looking at the empty seats, i cant help feeling that many are celebrating Christmas their own way, instead of coming to the source. What's Christmas without Christ?
and i saw a row of teenage boys...i have never seen them in church before! So who invited them? i dunno man... but looks like many of them are not Christians. and i am so glad they are in our church! bcos there's like a thousand other places to be on Christmas eve other than church! but i am not sure if they have been ministered to! God, i pray u speak to each and every one of them. Let them understand the true meaning of Christmas. Do not let them go away empty, but Lord fill them with understanding. Help them know u Lord! If they do not believe, stir it up in their hearts Lord! that they will come to know an emptiness in their hearts only u can fill! Lord i pray u bless them with Christians who can bring them to you. I pray for open hearts and open minds, that in this season, u bless and convict their hearts that they can truly find where they belong in Christ! Help them and guide them in this process Lord. Do not let them be caught up in this world's futility but believe in the power of your love! Amen. And Lord, may they truly be transformed by you, may u bring them out of darkness into ur wonderful light! Dear Lord, bless them i pray. In Jesus's loving name i pray, Amen!
and i said earlier i cant contain...and u might be thinking what it is. i can contain the festivity and commercialisation of Christmas......and where and what Man's hearts have turned to! Who is truly convinced of Christmas's true meaning? and what is Jesus to us? how much does Jesus mean to us? Do we even care that he was born this day? i cant answer for u....u have to discover it for urself, but you cant discover it if u do not have have an open mind and heart. Christmas is defined individually. U have to find out for urself what it means to u. Dont follow the crowd. They may be wrong, or not right for you.
I cant tell u how much God means to me...cos u are not me. i cant tell u how much God loves u bcos this u gotta experience it for urself to know. I cant tell u how much God has done for u, until u know what he has done for u. I dunno and can never tell u how wonderful God is. U have to experience it for urself. Are u willing?
You have been living ur life, the way u want it
You have tasted success, lived in its glory
You have also fallen, defeated and beaten
You have been heartbroken, pain that hurts so much
You have also had fun, excitment and adventure
You had been liked, by ur friends ur family
You have also been disliked, for no explainable reason
You have been searching for a meaning in life, a reason for living
You are tired of life, nothing worthy to seek
You thought all can only be darkess, sorrow and grief
You long to have someone love u or someone u can love
A long and painful wait, u cant bear each day
You have grown and matured, thru the trials that came
You have also regresssed, to sometimes being a child
Demanding for things u cant have
and having it all, and been thru it all
Have u ever wondered where u're headed to?
Who do u live for? is it worthy of ur call?
When u are down and out, who can be with u 24/7?
when u need someone, who can be there?
Life can be tiresome, without a faithful friend
But a friend is still human, cant always be with u
and life can be harsh, for no apparent reason
Do u need someone to hold u? To guide you? to lead u?
and be on ur side when world is against u?
And be for u, when the going gets tough?
i cant begin to tell u how great it is
To have a friend like Jesus
Who intercedes for You
and i cant tell u how much He loves you
For you, he gave all that he had
I cant tell you, how good he is
Your life, health, work, family and friends
All these he gave...
Sometimes u dont even know
But u can begin to know Him today
If u will take the step
He will do the rest
If u believe
He will come and bless
and what he can give, he gives u the very best
Afterall, he gave up all that he has
For you, He will.
If u are still with me, i would like to leave u with these lyrics...
We were the reason that He gave his life
We were the reason that he suffered and died
To a world that was lost
He gave all he could give
To show us the reason to live
Christmas isnt really Christmas till God enters ur heart.
