Christmas!

Christmas drama this year's a little different. :)

It came in the form of a tour in a theme park, built around the Christmas story. I thought this was pretty innovative. Instead of the play always taking place 2000 years ago, the story is told in modern times, using various technologies to tell the story (no spoilers here since some of you haven't seen it yet... :P If you aren't coming, you should... It's good! :P We're having services at Expo Hall 8 at 10am and 1pm tomorrow.)

One of the messages that struck me during the drama was this: Money can never buy you back time with your loved ones.

This is very true isn't it? Are we getting our relationships right? Do we place emphasis on material things and neglect the ones we love? Do we use things and love people, or do we love things and use people? Are we spending quality time with God? Because all material things we come to possess can never buy us time or favour with God.

Think Christmas is really a time for us to get our relationships right. God Himself wanted to make relationship right with men when he sent Jesus here 2000 years ago. So let us get our relationship right with God, and let us get our relationships right with the ones we love. Let us not miss out on one of the greatest gifts that God has given to us, our relationships with others.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16, NKJV)

Yup! I agree, 100%.. We do need material things in our lives to satisfy our wants, but more importantly, we need our loved ones to be with us, whether rain or shine, to love each other, and meet one another needs..

Christmas is one of the best times of the year of giving, because God gave us Jesus 2000 years ago, so that one day we would be in Heaven with Him for those who believe..

So yes! Let's show greater love to your loved ones today!

God IS love and by knowing Him, we become like Him. Good thoughts!
