Christmas isn’t Christmas til it happens in your heart
Somewhere deep inside you is where Christmas really starts
So give your heart to Jesus, you’ll discover when you do
That is Christmas, really Christmas for you
Jesus brings warmth like a winter fire
A light like a candle’s glow
He’s waiting here to come inside
As He did so long ago
Jesus brings gifts of truth and life
And makes them bloom and glow
So when you’re here, bring a song of joy
And when He comes, you’ll know
My all time favourite Christmas carol – speaks about the heart of the season.
Birthdays are made for us to appreciate the birthday person, AT LEAST once a year, and to make sure they know we love them, and that they’re special.
Well, I think God has been treating us everyday like our birthdays. He makes sure we’re protected,
He directs our paths,
He holds our lives,
He knows us better than we know ourselves,
He’s our first love,
He remains faithful.
And today, it’s HIS birthday.
What better gift can we return Him, than ourselves? In fact, even our whole life is not even worth a tiny bit of who He is to us.
And I know I’ve taken Him for granted. A million gazillion times. I didn’t give Him thanks when it’s due. I didn’t apologize when it’s due.
As I recall the skit of “Everything” by Lifehouse, it moves me all over again, about how many times I’ve broken His heart, by putting others before Him, or by disobeying, or doubting, and yet.. and yet.. He still loves.
A broken, wretched, failing, vulnerable, insecure child like me. Yet He still loves.
Know why?
Cause He believes in you.
That’s all it takes to inspire you to be an overcomer.
I believe that’s how it works with people too. We believe in ourselves when people believe in us.
When people tell us that we can’t do it, we lose all hope, throw in the towel, and live like a loser.
But even when all else fails, He is faithful.
Faithfulness is rare. Because we all have limits. Once it’s broken, we make sure we don’t turn back, because we don’t want to experience the hurts and pain all over again.
But, He sees your heart, and believes in turning over a new leaf.
We live by a vision. We picture of what we want to accomplish at the end of lives, and work towards it.
But how can we be so sure of what we want to achieve? And how can we be sure that all things will work our way, in accordance to our will in our lives?
That’s why there’s a Guide, a Love that never fails.
That no matter how insecurities can make you feel completely worthless and unbelonged,
if you’re lost from the inside out,
you know, you can be found in Him.
Because He made you. And He loves you.
Let’s try to treat God as if His birthday’s everyday.
All it takes is a surrendered heart. That He’s the boss.
No one can serve two masters.
It’s either He’s first, or it ain’t right..
I’ve had my own set of mistakes that I’ve stumbled upon. But, instead of crying over spilt milk, I gotta move on, and make sure I don’t repeat them. I gotta learn, and let every experience build me to be a better person.
Christmas isn’t Christmas til’ it happens in your heart..
I can never return Your faithfulness.
