behind the smiles of cheers and giving...

its christmas again, admist all the hussle and bussle and tussle of christmas shopping, christmas presentations, gatherings etc, wat is behind all that?

behind all the smiles, cheers and giving?

R we doin it becoz the world is following the trend? Because its the season. over the years the trend shows that the essence of christmas is nothing more than a stressful mth of preparations. Nothing more than just ppl doin or following for the sake tat its christmas.

I guess many of us get caught up. I know i did. I got too caught up with my ownself tat i forgot the essence of doing wat i was suppose to do. Its not tat everythin will be perfect. We know humans can never be but when we align, when we join someone who has always been ard frm the beginning of time, watever we do will be to His purpose, to His liking, to His own doing, and through Him perfect.

We are nothing more than vessels sailing ard in a constant storm of ideals, meanings and struggles. BUt it just takes one voice, one person, one event to totally calm the storms in our lives. WE can not add value to tat which we hv no control of. We can't do anything for a being who is omniscient and ever present. We can only put our trust and faith in Him, who in ages past had given us the reason to continue on living. The reason why we must constantly improve, the reason we kp living. He is, He was and He will ever be.

Because we hv one life, Christmas should be a time of focusing on the joy of sharing this gift we have received. Its not because of who we are. Its not because of who I am. Its because the person who gave this gift chose to give it to a person so undeserving and in doin so we are idebted to not only kp looking up to this person but to carry on living in the knowledge of this person. ANd in doing so we pass on this knowledge as our lives reflect the person who is in control.

As much as He is a person, He is also a God whom we fear. But if a God so big can come down to me, how abt us?

I know behind our smiles and cheers, nothing is transparent, yet as much as it is, I pray God just let us kp looking forward, not unto ourselves but unto Him. ANd asking HIm the right qns.
Its not wat His will is for me, but wat is His will tat I may join Him. ANd it all boils down to my personal relationship with Him. As much as the past is there, it will always be there, it is wat has made us who we are. The baggage we carry will always be in the carriage he has given.

If life seemed so colluded, last nite God just removed that veil frm me. I've been foolish....And He has forgiven me.
