Christmas Love

Christmas is supposed to be a joyful time to look forward to, but often it becomes a time of selfishness and greed, of stress and busyness, of disappointment when you don't get the gift you wanted. No family will have a perfect Christmas, but you can have a very blessed and joyful one! There is only one simple key: LOVE. Christmas is all about Christ, and Christ is Love! He has commanded us to love one another, and Christmas is a time to remember this; a time to set aside for loving others. Why, then, is there such self-centeredness? Why has Christmas begun to mean presents, Santa Claus, sweets, and ME? We have turned our back on Christ and replaced Him with Santa. Rather, we have replaced Him with ourselves; caring only about what WE want and not responding when He asks us to love and obey Him. Christmas is over, but we can keep the spirit of Christmas, Christ's love, in our hearts year-round. If we bless other people, it will bless us much more than it will them! And most importantly, it will bring glory to God. And that is our ultimate goal.
