Christmas... most people know when Christmas is. What is Christmas? Party? Gift exchange? We are so busy with activities and worrying about buying right gifts to right people. Is this really what Christmas about?
On my way home from shopping gifts, someone approached me: “Ms, would you want to donate any amount from $4 for this Christmas card? I am helping my friend who is in need to raise fund.” Wow! I felt so proud for this young lady who helped her friend and the other hand I asked myself, did I do something for needy? Did I spend my money wisely? Ops!
What is Christmas really meant to you? What have you not done?
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. [Philippians 2:3-11]
There is no Christmas if there is no Christ! May Christ lives in our heart!
Let’s use everything we have truly and fully! Merry Christmas!
