Dear loved
ones,
As you well
know, we are getting closer to my birthday. Every year there is a
celebration in my honor and this year the celebration will be
repeated. During this time there are many people shopping for gifts,
there are many radio announcements, TV commercials, and in every part
of the world everyone is talking that my birthday is getting closer
and closer.
It is really very nice to know, that at least once a year, some people
think of me. As you know, the celebration of my birthday began many
years ago. At first people seemed to understand and be thankful of all
that I did for them, but in these times, no one seems to ! know the
reason for the celebration. Family and friends get together and have a
lot of fun, but they don't know the meaning of the celebration.
I remember that last year there was a great feast in my honor. The
dinner table was full of delicious foods, pastries, fruits, assorted
nuts and chocolates. The decorations were exquisite and there were
many, many beautifully wrapped gifts. But, do you want to know
something? I wasn't invited. I was the guest of honor and they didn't
remember to send me an invitation. The party was for me, but when that
great day came, I was left outside, they closed the door in my face
.... and I wanted to be with them and share their table.
In truth, that didn't surprise me because in the last few years all
close their doors to me. Since I wasn't invited, I decided to enter
the party without making any noise. I went in and stood in a corner.
Then,
this man all dressed in red wearing a long white beard entered the
room yelling Ho-Ho-Ho! He sat on the sofa and all the children ran to
him, saying: "Santa Claus, Santa Claus" .. as if the party were in his
honor!
At 12 Midnight all the people began to hug each other
.
Suddenly
they all began to share gifts. They opened them one by one with great
expectation. When all had been opened, I looked to see if, maybe,
there was one for me.
What would you
feel if on your birthday everybody shared gifts and you did not get
one? I then understood that I was unwanted at that party and quietly
left.
Every year it gets worse. People only remember to eat and drink, the
gifts, the parties and nobody remembers me. I would like this
Christmas that you allow me to enter into your life. I would like that
you recognize the fact that almost two thousand years ago I came to
this world to give my life for you, on the cross, to save you. Today,
I only want that you believe this with all your heart.
I want to share something with you. As many didn't invite me to their
party, I will have my own celebration, a grandiose party that no one
has ever imagined, a spectacular party.
I'm still
making the final arrangements. Today I am sending out many invitations
and there is an invitation for you. I want to know if you wish to
attend and I will make a reservation for you and write your name with
golden letters in my great guest book. Only those on the guest list
will be invited to the party. Those who don't answer the invite, will
be left outside.
Be prepared
because when all is ready you will be part of my great party.
See you soon.
I Love you!
Jesus
P.S. Please
share this message with your loved ones, before Christmas
