The Real Reason...

Every year life seems to get crazier after Halloween. It just never fails! But this week in traffic I was trying to figure out something that just seemed like it was "missing".  My quiet times are there, prayer time is strong, kids are doing better ever even though my Tiara will get anxious and get home sick...overall everything seems in line.  Then as I changed my playlist and began to worship it hit me....Christ is the very core of all that I do all day. He's the first thought in the morning and my last thought at night and every minute of the day in between...but is really at the CENTER?  Meaning, is Jesus the focus of it all?  Rushing to meet deadlines at work. Driving to the youth Christmas party. Getting time for me on the treadmill....and it seems Christmas events stretch time even more!! But this Wednesday as I sat in the youth service the focus was quickly 1 thing as we became glued to the message.....I Wonder..Do You KNOW Him? Who is Jesus? Not just the obvious answers, but WHO is He to you?? Do you KNOW Him? Take the time to stop this year and really think...He knows YOU!!  Every deep down thought in your heart He knows and He sees and He loves to know you. Do YOU...know HIM?? 

As the Christmas season begins I really pray this video touches you like it did us. It's a favorite but I never get tired of it and by the end of it my heart is chasing after His begging to really KNOW Him and run AFTER His heart with mine. In worship, in my life, in my actions! I'm ready for the next day to come so I can pursue Jesus' heart with mine.  The applause spreads through the house like watching a flame fanned into a wildfire and who can refrain from breaking into worship after this??!! He is SO incredible. Jesus...name of above all names. Beautiful Savior...is so indescribable!  He is so much, the list is limitless and while the video rolled all I can think is the one thing that wasn't mentioned...HE is the LOVE of my life. HE IS the center of my world. The reason I do all that I do is for an audience of 1. He is the one and only reason for this season!  I pray it rocks your heart and changes your world this Christmas and becomes your favorite, too! Take time this holiday to sit and just reflect...He is worth it!
