What am I giving God this christmas?

1 John 3:16
We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for our bethren.

Fascinating, that this is God's love for us. So vast it cannot be written, not if the sky were a scroll, the ocean full of ink, and every man a scribe by trade. I can't even express the significance it has to me; I feel like gushing to someone how an almighty God loves me so much and is looking down on me whenever and wherever I am!

Every Christmas is like a renewal to me, and a reminder of how urgent and important it is that I need to tell others of this love I have experienced. Testify to love.

Celebrate Christmas in Singapore was a wonderful way of sharing the true meaning of Christmas. I paired up with Cara and we mostly gave out the booklets and postcards, saying blessed christmas with a smile I only reserve for strangers haha. Anyway, we had the chance to take a Korean group for the tour!!! Haha. Cara and I were like praying for one, and true enough, God sent us not one, not two, but five!!! Though there was a bit of a language barrier, and the music was overpowering, I think its brilliant that we got to share to that group, and they did seem interested! One girl I talked to actually attends church but is not a Christian, yet I can sense like she's willing. Cara and I prayed for willing and open hearts, and hopefully the followup will help her along this path.

We also talked to this Indian man and another girl about the gospel. The girl was very patient with us I think haha, even as we fumbled here and there, and the Indian guy actually had a very interesting viewpoint, saying that since they followed the 'Christian' calendar, they should also pray to God, like honour him. So he attends both church and the temple. I wonder.

I'm doing again tomorrow! May God guide me in His will!
