The best season of the year for me as we look forward to the holidays, celebrations, family birthdays and most importantly Christmas – a reminder of our Lords coming to the world for us.
Weighing in on the pros or cons of its commercialisation is a matter I leave for various interpretations. For me, it serves simply as an opportunity to celebrate, show love and take stock on life in all its ramifications.
So while the discussions and arguments rage, please take the time to do all of the above as you ponder on these choices verses
1John 4: 7-12
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
