Merry Christmas Indeed

Today I asked someone I know if she had a good Christmas! She replied, “We don’t celebrate Christmas! Christmas is a man made holiday! Jesus was not born on the 25th of December! It is wrong to celebrate Christmas!”

Her words made me think about Christmas! The more I thought about it, the more I realized that I need Christmas! It is true that I don’t know the exact day and moment of Jesus’ birth, but I can rejoice with my fellow believers, on December 25th that a savior was born! After all, isn’t that the whole reason for the season?

Our savior was born to bring us salvation! I want to rejoice and celebrate his birth, every Christmas, regardless of the fact that it’s a man made date and not Jesus’ true Birthday! I want to remember that Jesus was born to save me!

 

 

 

Merry belated Christmas and a Happy new year!

Warm & Safe

Last night my 26 days old daughter slept in my arms for more than 2 hours. She was warm, secure and did not need to worry about anything because daddy had her and would not let her go!!
This reminded me that God the Father has me in his arms and embraces me each day. He will not let me go, so I do not need to worry about anything! Ho loves me more than I love my daughter and he cares for me!

Culture of Service

Lately at church we have been talking about the culture of service. Last Sunday Jim shared about a homeless guy whom he saw. The guy was filthy and was barely able to walk!!! This whole thing made me think about my relationship with Christ!
One of my favorite Christian singers is Todd Agnew and my favorite song of his is “My Jesus”. Every time I listen to this song, it makes me wonder if my relationship with Jesus is authentic or not. The part that strikes me the most is this:
 

“Cause my Jesus would never be accepted in my church
the blood and dirt on His feet might stain the carpet”

Every day I see people that I could help, but 99% of the time I don’t help them. It makes me wonder, if I saw Jesus as a needy person, would I help him or would walk away from him? If Jesus came to my church, would I accept him as a member of my church, or would I push him away and think he does not belong?
Well, according to Matthew 25: 31-46, the truth is that if I help someone in need, I have helped and served Jesus.

Creation

Last week I listened to multiple conversations regarding the idea that “there in no God and those who believe in God are narrow minded.” As I was thinking about this concept I was reminded about a picture that I had taken a while back.


To many this picture might not represent anything, but to me this pictures is real fascinating because you can see a Yellow Crab Spider amazingly camouflaged on a yellow flower.
Now you decide for yourself:
Do you think such amazing creation can come to existence by a big bang and evolve into such perfection?
If you ask me, I don’t think so!!! This represent God’s perfect creation.

Romans 1:20-2

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.
