There is something about the air this season.................it is turning...........bitter and cold.
The wind of this season has hit me hard.
I feel it and I see it...........our hearts in this house are not the ready for Christmas!
We are the running...............the spending.............the decorating. But what about our hearts?
Isn't this the time of year that we should be preparing our hearts?
As I drive down the roads............... I have never seen such lights...........Christmas lights. The beauty of them twinkling into the dark hours of the night. But have we missed it? Missed it in this hustle and bustle of the season? Have we missed the true meaning of Christmas?
It seems easier for us to decorate our homes than to open our hearts to God?
As I walk through the hospital halls I can see it......................even taste it.........the pain of grief!
And yet I have to ask myself, "What is the true meaning of Christmas?"
I have wasted too many moments with the frustrations of this life. So I ask myself today...............what have I done to open my heart up for Christ to come in?
To rid me of stinking self...........knowing the way up is down!
There is still time.............only a few more days......... to slow down and be ready........ready for His coming.
And the truest gift we can give this season is to surrender...........surrender our lives for the opening of our hearts to Christ so we will be ready when HE returns!
Are you ready? He is coming!
Joel 2:1 Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy hill. Let all who live in the land tremble, for the day of the LORD is coming. It is close at hand--
all of grace,
Robbie
