Christmas Day

Merry Christmas to you my dear friend, utter stranger, or someone in between.
May you be reminded why celebrating today is important.
May you be unable to ignore the blessings in your life and thank our Savior.
May you make amends with those you need to.
May you feel the conviction of the Holy Spirit in whatever way you need. 
May you return to Him if you've wandered.
May you walk in His light.
May you look at yourself with honesty and reality.
May you know see areas in your life that need improvement and actually take steps towards it.
May you make an effort to becoming a better follower and in turn become a better person.
May you lay your sins at the cross and allow His freedom to overwhelm you.
May you walk in the Light and not the darkness.
May you remember the reason for the season.
After all, aren't all these things why God sent His son into the world? Why one young girl carried the Savior of the world in her belly for 9 months? Why, even as low as His birth was, angels proclaimed His arrival. Why shepherds left their herds and came to worship Him? Why wise men traveled from afar to give Him precious and expensive gifts?
So that we could be with God, transformed by Him, formed anew in Him, praise Him for all things? Yes, that is what this season is about. It's about the beginning of a man's life which lead to humanity's redemption. It's about new beginnings and remembrance.
Merry Christmas to you my dear friend, utter stranger, or someone in between.
