I suppose it is the question that I should ask You: what can I get You? After all, it is Your birthday that we celebrate. I am sure You were not born on the 25th of December, but I know You don’t mind that we celebrate Your birthday on that day.
So, where can I start? Happy birthday. And if in our birthdays, we are the one who gets the presents, in Your birthday, You are the One who gives the gifts. Is my first question still relevant then? Can I really ever get You something that You need or like? Heaven and earth are Yours. You don’t live in the temple made by human hands. You don’t need those You created to feed You even without the praise and worship from those You created, You are still God.
But then why You came to build Your tent among us? Why You left the Heaven and chose to stay with us, to walk among us and to become like one of us? I think I ask too much questions on Your birthday. I have already known the answers for all those questions actually. Because You love us so much, because You love me so much. The love that is incomprehensible, surpass all the human knowledge and feeling, but the love that is simple enough even for a child to grasp and draw them to come to You.
So Jesus, what can I get You for Your birthday? I think I can only give You thanks for Your love and also I want to ask You for a gift. No, not only one gift, but many gifts for I want to share it with the people whom I know. I want You to take care of my family and to bless them. I want You to guide and protect all my friends wherever they are. I want You to give them peace and love so that they will have joyful lives. I want You to visit those who are in distress and affliction and tell them that You love them.
But should I ask You to do that all those things? You know them better that I do. You love them more than I love them. I can’t keep the love I have for myself, but You are the source of that love. Anyway, I am glad I can ask You for those things, and I believe that You don’t take them as stupid petitions since You know all before I ask You. I know You love me and You love to spend time with me. I am sorry I don’t spend that much time with You, but I am glad You never leave me as You never leave them. So once again, bless my family and all my friends wherever they are. Help them to grasp Your love for them and to enjoy their lives with You. And stay with them as You always stay with me. Because it is Your birthday, it is Emmanuel, God be with us.
Thank You for Your birthday. Thank You for Your suffering. Thank You for the cross and Thank You for being with us and for loving us.
Take care of them, Lord Jesus. Happy birthday. I love You, Jesus
