Merry Christmas Season!

Tomorrow Advent officially begins with the start of the countdown of the weeks to the celebrated birth of Jesus. The Christmas Season is begun. Time to dust off the list of who has been naughty and who has been nice...
I believe we should keep Christ in Christmas gift giving as a reminder of the potential gift God has waiting for all who believe in His son and His reconciliation to Himself of all who accept His free gift of Himself and His love. You just have to believe to receive and even the Apostle Thomas was allowed his doubts and given a sign to help his faith.
If we have a living God it should be obvious He can convince us He exists. You just have to show an interest and it seems the rest you can leave to Him... Faith comes from hearing and personally, like any houseplant, I am planted in the source of hearing about God Jesus, the Bible, and have it on audio book format which I love to spend time listening to. So I hear the Word of God and find my belief getting stronger and hope someday I can believe with the seem innocent belief I had as a child, and later as one who did not have the dark night of the soul realization I have yet to meet the Living God as a "being" in my life that I know as a friend, let alone the great eternal King of His Creation, the Heavens and the Earth He made.
I have lived aware that the world treats religious belief the same as a child's belief in Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, and the Easter bunny. As I have covered in my post about doses of godhead I hinted that even with phenomena like God talking to one, or Angelic visions, these can be treated as delusions and hallucinations, and you, as prophecy said, can be treated as mad. There is no convincing unbelievers you are not crazy if you have religious experiences so forget about proving anything to anyone else. They might even say you are causing them to hallucinate if they end up sharing a vision with you.
So, seek and find God with fellow believers and God can do the rest... Christmas season would be a wonderful time to go home to Jesus. He is available 24/7/365 and it is not a long distance call because He is always with you where you are. We live inside Him!
