love came down
it was Christmas today! it still is, but it's coming to an end.
i got to see all my favourite ppl today! <3 if only i could have lunch with both of all of you but nvm no regret's for popiah man! woOts =) it's really great seeing you all again, that we can just pick up where we left off despite all the many many months of differences. but God put you all special ppl in my life and i'm so very grateful to Him for that (among many other things as well)
thank you all for the sweet sweet cards - the power of words, written or spoken is a blessing!
i'm just in awe of how much has happened this year. truly, it's never been so happening before to put it simply,just looking back on everything, recalling each month again i have no response apart from-
wow.
but this should be in my newyear's post! today's Christmas, and looking at all the commercialised Christmases all around is really quite sickening, what with santa and hohohos, it's all some warped version of the real meaning and it's veiling the eyes of just about every single country in the world.
it's more than just a season of giving, and receiving, it's like the start of the very first mission trip in the world - even worse than any ocip trip anyone could imagine and there was nothing in it for Jesus. so what was His motivation? must've been something huge to get Him out of Heaven.. it was His love for us. for the whole of mankind. His heart must've been really huge to hold all of that love. no one in the right mind would want to be born and know that He was gonna die. no man anyway.
just thinking of the huge sacrifice that He made is totally mindblowing.
Christmas is a time for celebrating God's love for us, and Jesus is the reason for the season. Anything else is quite an insult to what He's done, really.

We are the Reason
David MeeceAs little children
We would dream of Christmas morn
Of all the gifts and toys
We knew we'd find
But we never realized
A baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives
We were the reason
That He gave His life
We were the reason
That He suffered and died
To a world that was lost
He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live
As the years went by
We learned more about gifts
The giving of ourselves
And what that means
On a dark and cloudy day
A man hung crying in the rain
All because of love, all because of love
I've finally found the reason for living
It's in giving every part of my heart to Him
In all that I do every word that I say
I'll be giving my all just for Him, for Him
He is my reason to live
