Christmas is the way men and women, poor or rich had the chance to become princes and princesses. What’s your Christmas wish? Do you want to become a princess or a prince?
Good old Santa seems to be too busy to feed all the hungry children of our planet! It’s been so long since he keeps coming every Christmas but the situation simply does not revolutionize for the hopeless children, not enough food, not enough clothes, not enough shelters… They still strive in misery in different parts of the world and Christmas means nothing more then just another day to fight for survival or to be more realistic, do they even care Christmas exists?
Oh poor Santa, I am sure he would cry to read their letters…we all would…
However, it is not only those who need Santa; there are orphanages in every country of the world and those children might have enough food, yet they are still hungry, their hunger is for love…the daily "dose" of love, not just for Christmas. Oh Santa dear, where are you?
What about you? What is you hunger? Maybe you are a mother and you wish your children appreciated what you did for them and all you need is a hug, a heartfelt "thank you"; maybe you are a father who has a loving wife and beautiful children…still, it doesn’t seem to be enough, something is missing, your heart yearns for something you can’t really define and hopes there can be something more thinking "is this all life has to offer?"
Oh, if only Santa could handle all these wishes…hidden or told, they are deep and go beyond what eyes can see, they are inside the chambers of each heart…
On many occasions I saw for myself and others see it every day that the baby in the manger (who is actually more then mature these days) can actually descend it the deepest corners of our being and bring the light and the love we need; He sees you doing those dishes every day without anyone to appreciate it; He sees your broken heart when others treat you unfairly; He sees the hunger of each heart that wishes life had more to offer…
Yes, He sees them all. But what can He do about it, or is He willing to do something?
He is your Creator, your wildest dreams no not equal how much He wants to show and give to you, still He respects your will and lets you decide if you want to have Him as your Christmas quest.
I don’t know how much you enjoyed going to school but He invites you to enroll His school for the highest degree possible, no other university offers this option: to become Royalty! And not just any royalty, but the highest possible: sons/ daughters of God, princes and/or princesses!
The main title of His discipline is:
"Heavenly Manners"- remember He makes you a prince /a princess so…behavior must unquestionably be royal! These might include practical lessons on:
a)"How to forgive without hard feelings" – remember you are royalty and generosity is a must!
b) "How to unconditionally love…even your enemies", "How to enjoy your marriage life" – remember you are royalty and The King has plenty of love, you are his daughter/son for this reason, the access to "love deposits" are open 24 of 24 plus…they are infinite, you are allowed to take all the love you want!
c) "How to have joy when all friends have forsaken you" – being royalty means to understand the poor/forsaken and the homeless too, it doesn’t mean you are a spoiled child (even if you are in a sense); how else do you expect to understand people best unless you "taste" the bitterness of what they go through yourself? You know, being a prince / princess implies making difficult decisions, it is not to be taken lightly!
Did I forget to mention that for every test you pass, your generous father, The King, prepares a gift for you? It is up to you to choose between diamonds and haystacks!
There are so many other precious things He is willing to show you! What’s more, you are never alone in His school! He is there with you every moment! He is your mentor when you do your "homework".
This is not just a beautiful story, it is the very reality! We are all invited to graduate this University that lasts as long as we live, and the studies are so personalized for each of us that even the very hears of our head are numbered!
He knows what we are capable of, He values us even if no one else around does! In fact, we are so precious to Him that He descended from His Perfect Heaven to show us how to love and to take the burden of death off our shoulders!
Again, this is reality, use your brain, use the resources you have – history, science – and put your tiny hand in the hand of your Creator, He is your Father and He knows and loves you! Don’t let this Christmas pass you by and feel empty again! Not for a second! Became a princess/ prince today and live your life at the highest potential as you were created to live in the first place! Ah did I forget to mention? Your Father has already paid the bill for this school! Join it now!
I wish you the Merriest Christmas ever! May God fulfill your heart and grant all your wishes!
