Can be Found In your Heart

Can be Found In your Heart

           

           I can really feel the cool breeze of December. I can see sparkling lights around each houses. I can fully smell the air of Christmas joy. Alluring rhythm of Christmas songs were being heard and definitely captivates my heart. I can see excitement in every child’s face. Tall Christmas trees and  various amazing decorations always caught my eyes.

            A season of joy and peace. A season to commemorate the birth of our savior Jesus Christ. A season that again lead me to flashback and reminisce the past. I can still remember the way I thought what Christmas is when I was younger. “Excitement and fulfillment,” that’s how I describe Christmas in that very moment of immaturity.

            As I grow older, I found myself seeking for something I couldn’t  find during Christmas. I can’t even understand myself each time because I know that I had everything-everything that makes me happy and to feel that I’m complete. I had lots of money to buy anything I want. I had precious gift. We even had enough food to eat for the celebration and of course we had fireworks for enjoyment. But in the end, I keep on interrogating myself “Am I really happy with material things? Is this really the fulfillment I want to Conquer?”

            For how many years of celebrating Christmas I had never thought what the true essence of it was. Now that I’m matured enough, I had realized that I’m the loneliest during those times that I’m celebrating the season without even knowing the true meaning and essence of Christmas even though I’m always making myself happy.

            Christmas is a time to see the world through the eyes of love, giving and forgiving. Christmas is not just all about the enjoyment, excitement and fulfillment. The true essence of it cannot be seen in the sparkling lights, tall Christmas trees and attractive decorations, it cannot be heard in the Christmas songs, it cannot be felt in the cool breeze of December and cannot be smelled in the air of Christmas joy but can be found in the heart.

            Christmas is the right time for us to give love more than we can ever received. A time when the love of God and the love of our fellow men should prevail over all hatred and bitterness. A time to give what we have for those who are in need and a time to forgive people who committed mistakes upon us.

            What ever we decide to do during Christmas, make sure that Christ the King, the redeemer of mankind and the reason for the season will always stay in our hearts. In my heart, I had found the real happiness I’ve been seeking for how many times during Christmas. And for that I had proved that giving and forgiving is the true essence of Christmas which lead us to an endless happiness.
