The Reason for the Season...it sounds so...made up and commercialized to say that He is the Reason for the Season. But the truth is, the real reason we celebrate Christmas is for Christ.
But the stores and the tv specials, and the gimmicks and the gizmos, they so often take the Christ out of Christmas.
As a Christian and a writer, and a Christian Writer, I want to take a moment and write something special about Christ, to put Him back into the holiday that we have as a celebration for His birth.
The Lord was born into life as a child, and then a man to show us the way Home, but not as easily as here, follow me...but Here, people, Follow Me through death on the cross through baptism, and then walk a good life on the Earth telling others about Me, by serving others and loving people into Redemption much the same as I did. He said, take up your cross and follow Me through persecution, to show the world that you'll go through anything to stand up for one thing: Christ.
At this time of year, when it becomes about giving...can you give...? Can you give Christ to a hurting world through how you live before man?
I want to try harder than ever before, through prayer and such simple things as smiling, and being kind; I pray my words may inspire you, Reader--Christian--to inspire others in the ways of Christ.
Merry Christmas
