Covid-19 pandemic has upset the lives of billions of people around the world. It has disrupted everyone’s everyday life and people feel frustrated. Millions have lost lives, families and friends. All are looking for an answer. It seems like science and reason have also failed to give hope to the world.
Christmas is a time of Love. It is about the goodness and beauty of human life where God wills to get involved in our lives. God is Immanuel – God with us! Love prompts Him to be part and parcel of our lives. Love is the driving force behind all that he does; He is love incarnate.
Christmas is a time of Hope. Our God walks with us in our pain and sufferings; encourages, strengthens and supports us. He promises us His presence and He never leaves us alone. He is our beacon of Hope!
The spirit of Christmas is the spirit of giving and in giving we receive. During this pandemic we saw the best human beings – selfless service and sacrifice of life on the line of duty; we have seen and heard about real people rising to the occasion to prove their kindness and compassion. Let this Christmas be a different one for you and me. Let us be a sign of love, hope and healing to our world. Let us live Christmas with grateful hearts!
