Christmas

i got this email and decided to post it cos i think it makes sense though Christmas is over. have u ever heard of how Christmas came abt? well, i tell u soon ya. haven't been on-lining for some time heh...

*:: Why JESUS is better than Santa ::*



*Santa lives at the North Pole ...
JESUS is everywhere. *


*Santa comes but once a year.
JESUS is an ever present help.

Santa fills your stockings with goodies ...
JESUS supplies all your needs.

You have to wait in line to see Santa ...
JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.

Santa doesn't know your name,
all he can say is "Hi little one, what's your name?" ...
JESUS knew our name before we did.
Not only does He know our name, He knows our history & future,
and He even knows our hearts & how many hairs are on our heads.

All Santa can offer is HO HO HO ...
JESUS says "Cast your cares on me for I care for you."

Santa may make you chuckle but ...
JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.

While Santa puts gifts under your tree ...
JESUS became our gift by dying on the cross for you & I.*


*It's obvious there is really no comparison. *

*We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about. *

*We need to put CHRIST back in Christmas.*

**

*No Christ; no Christmas*

*Know Christ; know Christmas!*

**

*Jesus is still the reason for the season.*

Praise God! He knows my everything, my ever loving, compassionate, merciful, wonderful, faithful, awesome God!

Weeks ago, as i vividly recalled
Alone in a quiet corner in the discussion room of the vast library
Sick, weary and worried
I began talking to God:

"Lord, i'm tired. I'm feeling lousy and down and sick. There's so much to do... so much on my mind... how am i gonna have DG later in this state?"
I flipped the Word of God
I came across Isaiah 41:10:

"Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my righteous hand."

How timely it is!
I was strengthened instantly by His word.

Again, i'm encouraged.

Been praying for my sis to come back to God & recently she did. She had an experience with God that's so real and I'm glad. I know even the times when she's backslidding, God's still with her for He said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5)

Btw, went ZOUK OUT. Rendering 1st aid. It was indeed an eye opener! Never have I seen this part of the world I guess. I mean, so many ppl vomitting, lying around, drunk all around the stretch of that beach! Never have I been overnight in sentosa before too. It was also my first time going to SGH A&E though I was attached there before. I've learnt much, spending the night with fellow sjab first aiders.
You Laid Aside Your Majesty by Noel Richards

You laid aside Your majesty
Gave up everything for me
Suffered at the hands
Of those You had created

You took all my guilt and shame
When You died and rose again
Now today You reign
In heaven and earth exalted

I really want to worship You, my Lord
You have won my heart and I am Yours
Forever and ever
I will love You

You are the only one who died for me
Gave Your life to set me free
Now I lift my voice to You in adoration
