"Christmas is not in the air but it's in our hearts.
Have you ever asked yourself "why Christmas is not as joyful as before?" That you are not already excited when December comes? But, the question is, what is Christmas for you?
For Ms. Ronieth Dayao, "Christmas is not in the air but it's in our hearts. It's about preparing our hearts to be Jesus' dwelling place.
Siguro [nao-overwhelm] kayo na 'your heart won't ever be clean to be His dwelling place.' But I want to remind you that 'Jesus was born in the dirty and smelly manger.' Your heart and your life [are] not too dirty or too messy for Jesus not to enter in.
So, this coming Christmas—the coming of Christ—may you open your heart and say, 'Come, Jesus, come. I know I'm not worthy that You should rescue and comfort me, but I know that that's exactly why You came— to seek and save the lost. So, please come. Bless me with Your presence because I'm tired of covering my loneliness with temporary things. Flood me with your love so, I may endure struggles and enjoy the mundane. Prepare my heart for You, Jesus. Amen!'"
