Christmas Message
This year, we learned that...
God grants us miracleS each day of the year.
We sometimes get used to it that we don't remember to thank Him. Each day is an opportunity to do things better. You have to make the right decision at the right time. Whenever you don't make the right decision at the right time, you will still suffer the consequences,
but God will always be merciful and gracious when you acknowledge your mistakes and ask for His help. Before his downfall a man's heart is proud, but humility comes before honor. (Prov. 18:12) In short, pride precedes the fall. We have lots of plans, but it's God's plans that will prevail (Prov. 19:21) The real meaning of Christmas is neither the gifts, nor the companions that we have who come and go.
Christmas is about God's love for us while we are still sinners.
He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, so that those who believe in Him will not perish but have eternal life.
[When the Magi saw Jesus with Mary, they bowed down and worshipped HIM (only). Matt.2:11] Worship is doing what pleases God. Every small good thing that we do makes God smile. To sum it up, "araw-araw ay magiging pasko lagi" (everyday will be Christmas day)
if, with thankful hearts, we will look at each day as a fresh start to do God's will - He who loved us first and promises to be with us whatever the situation may be. May you have a BiG CHRISTmas and a Sound New Year!
