“Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign; The virgin will conceive, and give birth to a Son, and will call Him Emmanuel” (NIV).

-Isaiah 7:14

Emmanuel, commonly known as Christ, transformed the world just over 2,000 years ago. Humanity watched prophesies unfold as hope was born at the moment when God became flesh. Our Emmanuel, Jesus, gave us hope that sin and death would not always win, and that people would not always feel so helpless.

This is the season for us to remember and celebrate the things that the saviour has done for us.

Christmas is not just all about receiving and giving material things. Exchanging gifts and partying with our friends and families. We have to bear in mind that without Christ, this season will never exist.

Let us never fail to remember that Jesus is the reason of this season.

With that being said, before anything else, let us not forget to thank and glorify Him for what he has done for the humanity. For you and me.

I know that maybe some of you will say that "nobody knows the real date when He was born." "It isn't Jesus Birthday today." And as what I have said, I respect your perception and opinion on that matter.

But as for us, we know that nobody really knows the exact date of when Jesus was born. However, Christmas serves as our appreciation and remembering the birth of the King.

Be that as it may, may we all welcome this special day with a grateful and thankful heart.

Isn't it amazing how God selflessly gave His only begotten son just for the humanity? What an unconditional and unfathomable love He has for us.

Emmanuel, God is with us.

Indeed, I can personally testify with this one. God have never leave me nor forsake me even just once. There's nothing we can hide and do that He won't know. Isn't it just amazing to know that no matter what we do, what we become and wherever we go, God will always be in our side to guide and protect us? We may feel alone at times but that doesn't mean that He has forsaken us. Even if everyone around us turn their back from us, we are confident that He will never leave us. Because that is how God is. Faithful to His promises.

I feel a bit bad because I fail to wake uo during midnight huhuhu. I always want to be awake when the clock strikes the 12 midnight during 24th day of the Month to welcome 25th or Christmas Day 😭. Anyways, it is still Christmas day today and we should shake off every unpleasant emotions that we feel and embrace the hope and joy that this day brings.

Anyways, that's all for today! Might spend this day with my loved ones and so that means less interaction in here hihi. I'll make it up to you all tomorrow 💓.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

We should never forget the true essence of Christmas, which is God Himself. "Emmanuel,God is with us" - this verse really makes my heart at ease for eveything that I do. Thankyou for sharing your thoughts.

I always set an alarm before the midnight comes. When I was a kid I always miss the salubong. But this doesn't mean we cannot celebrate Christmas, right? Hehe. It is just a matter of time.
