Every year there
is a celebration in my honor and I think that
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
the re 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. They were all
drinking; there were some who were drunk and
telling jokes and laughing at
everything. They were having a grand time. To top
it all, this big fat man
all dressed in red wearing a long white beard
entered the room yelling
Ho-Ho-Ho! He seemed drunk. 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; I extended m y arms
waiting for someone to hug me and ... do you know
... no one hugged me.
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
Share this message with your loved ones, before
