It is December 26th. Yesterday was Christmas and it was a wonderful time! Now it is the day after. The day when most people spend their day returning gifts to the store, returning to work, and/or traveling to return home to the same old same old.
For too many people, Christmas is just a day, a great day, but then it is over. Many try to keep it going, but eventually, we return to our normal lives.
Why does this happen? Because we treat Christmas as a day, an event that happened in the past. Jesus did not come to change one day of the year, it is something better. Jesus came to allow every day to be better than the last.
Jesus says in Mark 16 that the signs will follow those who believe. Jesus wants to walk with you, and yes things will happen, but then Jesus will show up to light your way, your day, and to shine His light through you among those you care about. Jesus takes great delight in changing the circumstances that you face into something amazing. When you are WITH JESUS, you have nothing to worry about. It is when you are NOT WITH Jesus that you have to be concerned.
This is why the world seems to go back to the same old, same old, soon after Christmas. They got close to Jesus during the Christmas season but then decided not to be with Jesus soon after.
Jesus came to let us know that we can be with Him all the time, and when you are with the almighty God of the universe, you will always be alright. No one and nothing can really touch you. You just ask Jesus to take care of something, and Jesus cannot wait to do it for you. The key for this to happen, is to be with Jesus all the time.
It is not about a religion, but about a relationship that is all up to you to determine what you get out of it. Some forget about Jesus soon after Christmas. Some say that Jesus is great but will only call on Him when they need Him. Others walk with Jesus all the time, because they truly have no worries. I hope that you will want to be the one who wants to walk with Jesus all the time.
Remember Jesus loves you; I love you, and you are awesome!
