Thanks Mr. Jone Cagi for this beautiful title you gave me for this blog entry. May you also find the true meaning of Christmas as you suggested in the title.
Well, below is a copy of a comment I made in response to a friend's blog entry. Here's the link should you want to read her write-up. http://dang-justaboutanything.blogspot.com/2011/12/my-search-for-true-spirit-of-season.html
Hi friendship!
I have been away. I know. I am in some stage in my
life where I am dealing with my strongest weak point. I am luring myself into
it while taking note on what is happening to me. Fret not. I am wide awake. I
just have to see for myself as to how devastating it can be to immerse myself
into it and actually do it. I'm stubborn right now. I want to dip my finger
into that boiling water to actually get a good feel of it...so I may not do it
again.
Right now, I feel so far away from Him, detached,
cannot be reached, lonely, empty. It's as if I were in a cave, down below,
looking at this light from above, longing to get out in due time.
I hope I made the right the decision -- immersing
myself. I hope I'm right when I said "I will be stronger."
I know that I will answer to Him when I come back.
It will be hard of course, but I will take responsibility.
Please pray for me.
This is how I'm preparing myself for Christmas.
Like you, I also want to experience the true spirit of the CHRISTmas season.
And like what you stated above, may Jesus lead us all to that spirit.
Advance merry Christmas friendship!

ReplyDeleteI'm back. I've realized a couple of things -- God showed them to me by the way. It's really amazing how He works in our lives. Nothing beats God's presence.
ReplyDeleteLean on God's strength Jake. We are all weak. But God is strong on our behalf. When you are weak then He is strong. You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. God bless you Jake!
