First Love

Today I watched a splendid Christmas play at a church in Makati with my students, Andy and Jin. It was so beautiful! The performers were fantastic, their voices angelic. Indeed the title "From Heaven's Throne" truly describes their message... and once again I am reminded of that day, two millenia ago.

The day when the One who would perform the greatest act of love for you and me... was born. The One whose Name almost everyone knows and yet whose life and message not everyone understands... Jesus.

When I think of Him, my heart overflows with wonder and awe... How can I describe it? In my deepest, darkest hours... He is my comfort, my source of strength. When problems get too heavy to bear... He carries me. In my happiest moments... He smiles at me through the clouds, flowers, trees... and through the eyes of people I love... He give me wings.

Words are not enough to express the joy of knowing Jesus... He is our Light in this life and beyond... our First Love yesterday, today and forever.

Merry Christmas, everyone! May your lives be truly blessed!
