MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Jesus Christ is the reason for celebrating Christmas. It is generally believed that he was born on that fateful day in a manger because there was no room for him in the whole of Bethlehem. The Holy Bible tells us in the book of John Chapter 3 verse 16: "For God so loved the World that he gave his only beloved son to die for our sin". God loves us so much, and he showed it by presenting to us his beloved son. We ourselves have a responsibility to show love to others especially at Christmas. Love is the true essence of life because it embodies all the Jesus Christ represents.
Christmas is a period of sharing things with those you love. Some folks share food, gifts or other things that can bring joy to others. It is common to see people sharing Christmas cards filled with messages of encouragement. There are a thousand and one gift items to share with friends, family members and neighbors. Some others share their time with their loved ones at home playing Christmas carol and other wonderful songs.
Forgiveness is one of the fundamental of true love and during this festive season, reconciliation normally occurs. Families that were otherwise divided come together as one. Disputes are settled and reconciliation is achieved. Thee essence of Christmas is to reconcile men to God and highlight the importance to let go of hurt that has been meted out to us.
The essence of Christmas goes beyond just showing love, sharing and building new relationships. It also involves carrying out self-meditations and making adjustments were necessary.
So, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
