A thought before the Midnight of the Night Before Christmas :-)

When we are away from God we are always making something else to be "our god" in Communist Albania the dictator wanted the people to venerate and worship him, in other countries, other aspects of life became "gods" . In  the developed world sexuality(all forms of sexual relationships outside marriage), consumerism(money.money, money...), pride (I can do anything, I am good and strong and superperson....) materialsm (I must have everything that the Joners have...)  etc ., have become "gods" of the daily lives....The human heart is designed to reach its Creator and during the way, we, the people, make many detours and some of those detours can be fatal for our souls. Our soul does recognize these detours and our behaviors, our restlessness, our sadness, desperations, un-satisfactions, addictions, escapism etc etc,.....are symptoms of these detours... .. Our hearts yearn to rest in our Creator, the God of Abraham, Moses and David, who loved us so much that he stooped down from Heaven and became man....JESUS is his name! .This Christmas, let us recognize our true God and embrace him as he is waiting for our love in return...He gave us Free will so let us will that love, to love Him back so we can find the way to our Eternal Happiness.....We are all called to holiness and eternal Joy! ...Let Him come and dwell in us......Let us start this Christmas! If you don't know any prayer, pray from your heart...pray a simple but meaningful prayer like this:" Dear God, please come and dwell in me. I dont know you but I want to meet you and be a better person in every aspect of my life. Please help me and shed light on my path. My heart will be restless o Lord until it rest in you. Please help me! Amen!" :-) see what happens....xoxo (M.M)
