Christmas is great
but the day after when you realise that you are no happier despite all of the stuff
is a brilliant reminder that stuff is not satisfying

celebrities cherish the mundane
because they have so much more and know that it doesn't make them happier

there is a striving in your heart for eternity
that will not be filled by stuff that will rot and decay,

we clutter our lives
we don't know what it is to rely on God
he has not saved us from anything so we don't know him as our SAVE-iour
we don't appreciate and we can exist by doing things ourselves
but to live like we are alive in Christ, to know joy and peace we must be broken
a heart or a life that has not been broken is useless
because it will still be ruled by selfish emotions and motives
it has not been shown how sinful and how flawed it is
it has not been made aware that it cannot go on independently

do you have any idea how blessed you are?

pray for change
pray for our leaders and our government
pray for the hearts to be broken of those who can do something
