THE GOOD NEWS OF CHRISTMAS - A LOVE LETTER FROM GOD.

Christmas, who on this earth doesn't know about the wonderful season of every year?

Of course everyone knows about it and many do celebrate it. But the question is: what Christmas is all about? Does it only tell us about the birth of Jesus? What is the real meaning of Christmas?

Many people assume that Christmas is all about those beautiful decorations, cakes, winter, snowfall, carols, Santa Claus. Yes this is part of the celebration but Christmas is about that One True Love.

Bible says in John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

People's lives were filled with darkness and despair. Above all, they were living a sinful life. So Jesus Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Jesus did not commit any mistake but still he shed his blood on the cross in order to save you and me from being destroyed. His blood cleansed all our sin and made us a new creation. Yes the good news of Christmas is you are loved by Jesus.

Are you a person who feels you are not loved by anyone neither your siblings, relatives or friends? Yes, this kind of feeling makes you feel lonely and empty.

Some or the other way in life most of the people feel that they are not loved and cared.

Many youngsters' lives have become painful due to the pain of loneliness and betrayal. The pain of betrayal is very hurtful. Many times people will promise us that they'll be with us but suddenly when things get changed they'll just leave us.

The question is where is true love found in this world? Who loves you unconditionally? Who loves you without expecting anything back from you? Who loves you so much that they even sacrifice their own life for you? Who loves you even when you fail? Who loves and forgives you even when you make repeated mistakes in life? Who loves you at the lowest point in your life? Who loves you?

The one and only answer to all these questions that this Christmas brings to you is Jesus. He loved you without expecting anything from you in return. He gave his own life for you. He still loves you and sends you today this letter of love to you.

The person you love the most might betray you but God never does.

Love has a very deep meaning and I believe only God has shown that true love.

Dear youngsters, please do understand that love is not just about boyfriend and girlfriend. Sometimes I feel that this concept has made love meaningless. Highest number of suicidal rates have been recorded among youths especially due to love failure. When someone you love betrays you it hurts so much that it makes you kill your own life but I ask you a question: Will true love fail? True love will never fail and it is difficult to find it in people but it is found in God who has created you. Think about this before you take next step amidst the pain of betrayal you are going through.

When I felt lonely, when I felt nobody was there for me, nobody loved me, the only thing that healed me was God is with me and he loves me. Even Though I committed sin and mistakes in life, God still loved me and gave his own life for me and his blood cleansed me, washed away all my sins.

This made me feel that no one in this world can love me better than God.

You may feel lonely, empty. You may be betrayed by the person you loved the most. But I have good news for you and that is God, the creator of heaven and earth loves you more than anybody.

God loves you, God cares for you, God is for you, God has plans for your life, God is with you.

God's love calls you to come out of loneliness. Don't recall about the people who betrayed you and your love for them.

It's time to move on for the true love of God is for you.

I encourage you today don't believe in those lies that say you are not loved. Look at the nature around you, the God who created that loves you the most and he calls you his own. What more can we expect?  Love your God with all your heart, obey him and trust him for his love is everlasting and true.

There are many things to describe about Christmas but for now I have chosen to first describe the love of God.

Hope this blog has made you understand the love of God.

Thank you for reading.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY 2024
