I absolutely love Christmas. Yearly I find excitement in the traditions, decorations, shopping,& movies. Since I was able to get ahead on planning this year, I’ve been spending every moment of my free time indulging in Hallmark Christmas movies.
Yesterday as I sat and anticipated the ending of my 5th movie it dawned on me that most of the movies had a similar storyline. Finding true love that you can’t live without during the holiday season. It became evident that more Christmas movies displayed finding true love in man and not the true love of Christ.
Glancing around my home I was reminded that Christmas is more than decorating, food, shopping, finding true love . Although I’m grateful for them all my heart was filled in remembering that Christmas is about the birth of our savior, reckless love of God, and the gift of eternal life. We should find pure joy in that this holiday season!
As we enjoy our holiday season let’s remind people of the greatest love story that’s ever been written, the Bible, the greatest gift that’s ever been given, Jesus! And the one relationship we can’t live without, Christ!
We love because he first loved us. – 1 John 1:19
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. – John 3:16
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. – Romans 5:8
