Christmas had had a special meaning for me.
I was a little child missing for christmas all the time. I never met Jesus Christ before but i heard it alot from my grandma. She told me, "one day when you're grown. Go and seek HIM." She taught me to pray, even i'm not a christian that timw, but everyday i prayed in Jesus' name. I believe HE captivated my heart since then.
My very first religious song is THESE ARE THE SPECIAL TIMES album by CELINE DION. I could play that songs when nobody around and imagined as if i had a christmas tree and together with my family.
It had been 11years passed since my first Love story with HIM. things changed. I go to church often, pray often but deep down, I lost my passionate LoVE for HIM. I cant sense HIM around. Coz i'm too busy following my feeling.
But,
HE even heard my silent prayer.
I said, please, one more time and forever, touch my heart, fill my heart, i want to feel YoUR Love.
And HE did!
Suddenly all my sadness, tiredness, had gone away.
One touch, one word, it melt my heart.. My deep and longing heart...
Like, i remembered one song,
Bethlehem Morning..
Lift up your heads
No need to mourn
His hand is stretched out still
For unto us a child is born
His promise to fulfillJerusalem!
He cried for youHe did not come to us in vain
His loving arms are open wide for youAnd he will come
He will come againBethlehem morning
Is more than just a memory
For the Child that was born thereHas come to set us free
Bethlehem sunriseI can see Him in your eyes
For the Child that was born there
His spirit never dies
His star will never, will never grow dim
And it's a brand-new dawn
A new JerusalemAnd we and we will reign
We will reign with him
How it became so meaningful?
It has been my favorite sermont and song from Late Pastor Petrus Agung Purnomo, about no matter how hard the circumstances are.. Dont ever let GOD go from your life.
Dont change. Dont waver from your first love. do it like you used to do it, passionately, attentively. And believe that every hard condition in your live just nothing than a couple of GOD's process for your heart. When you're done with it, it surely done something with your heart too.
So...
Christmas is a hope for a broken world,
A little town of bethlehem, nobody see it as an important town. They ignore it
But GOD sees it and choose it.
It just like you and me
Christmas is here in my heart, when a little child met the savior, like a lil town of bethlehem was chosen by its KING.
it's me LORD. here i am
Welcome back Christmas,
Welcome back first Love,
Never worn out your first love
He's coming soon
