His Birthday Gift


For a while, someone will think that it is the day of lights, colors and new things… it is the fiesta of children… or the day of sweet gifts…

It is imperative that we need to change… to go out of routine… of usual boring life…
No one hates to get chocolates, new clothes, many gifts… a lot of kisses… a lot of hugs… but what else?
All these things may give us a temporary smile… but do we know that there is an eternal one?
This birthday was to release us from our mortal materialism… What did we do with time?
We made this day the one of materialism and we forgot the essential… while all our days are full with super care for earthy life, we forgot always to live…
Maybe the error was to give the holy child that is born everyday in our hearts, just a day to celebrate…

What is the story of this day?
The lord came to our earth… he was born in the poorest place… with just one star… not five ones… all in nature… even for air conditioning…
As a king in his simplicity… he was announced to the ones who were waiting in the dark ages…
Earthy kings didn’t understand in the beginning… then they did… he is here for a holy mission… no more need for arms to protect him… his kingdom is peace…
The kings of east presented their material gifts… that what they learned to do in similar cases… they left after… the bible didn’t give more details about them… What they became after?
We know that Jesus didn’t need there gifts…
Was it enough for them to just look at him and leave after?
(You will feel here I’m going out of the subject, but I really feel jealous from them… how could someone look into his eyes and leave? How could someone touch him and go like that? What did they feel when they touched him or looked at him? My body shivers for just thinking of this!)

Here we go again…
Do you love Jesus?
Rarely someone forgets the gifts for the ones he love… don’t forget his gift…
But what are you trying to give him?
Remember! He is the creator of everything…
He doesn’t need money… gold… jewels… houses… cars…
He needs you…
Are you ready to give him that this Christmas?
It seems something hard these days!
Don’t be afraid, he thought about our negativism… he knows us better than we ever knew ourselves…
He created another simple way… go out of your close circle… and give a cup of love to someone you don’t know, but it is surely better if you give it to someone you don’t love…
