Oh he had one mission,
and that one mission
was to steal CHRISTmas
from every WHO in Whoville.
And oh how he thought he succeeded,
as he stripped every house
of every gift,
of every ornament,
of every piece of food,
of everything that he believed was their reason for the season.
But he left one thing behind
that couldn't be stolen,
that couldn't be stripped away,
even when it appeared that everything that was so important
was stripped away.
Because every Who down in Whoville
STILL sang and sang with JOYFUL hearts
on that CHRISTmas morn
when there was NOTHING left
to sing about.
But there was SOMETHING left
that could never be stolen.
Not even the Grinchiest Grinch could steal
THE JOY from their HEARTS,
because their JOY was from within
and not from without.
Oh
even when everything that you once knew
is stripped away,
you still have that beating HEART inside
that no one can snatch from you,
when you have given it away to
THE ONE
who came STRIPPED down as a
little BABY,
to be then STRIPPED down on a cross,
to be left for dead.
Oh how JESUS was STRIPPED down,
by so many,
but oh how NOTHING could STRIP HIM
of the
REASON for why GOD birthed HIM
on earth.
For NO ONE can STEAL
THE REASON for THE SEASON,
because
JESUS ISN'T A SEASON.
JESUS is the CHRIST that goes before "mas".
For where is CHRISTmas without CHRIST?
NOTHING.
Even with every pound of the hammer,
that drove the nails into HIS body,
JESUS still was JESUS
carrying out GOD'S WILL
to go from the cradle to the CROSS.
As
JOY was BIRTHED
after the stripping
of HIS grave cloths
on that Easter morning,
making
HIS JOY
here to stay,
because
even the Grinchiest Grinch
does not have the power
to
steal what is not his.
Because you & me & everyone else
who is
IN CHRIST
have an inheritance
that is way bigger
then a couple of gifts & decorated trees & the CHRISTmas feast,
that can never be stripped away~
"I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish;
no one will snatch them out of my hand.
My FATHER, who has given them to ME, is greater than all;
no one can snatch them out of MY FATHER'S hand.
I and the FATHER are ONE”
(John 10:28-30.)
Oh The Grinch may be a made up character,
yet has brought a REALITY message,
that when everything is stripped away
where is your JOY rooted?
So let's join together
during this "season",
not fixated on what has been stripped away,
but instead stay fixated on
THE ONE
who
can never be
STRIPPED
from your
HEART,
from the moment
JESUS is BIRTHED in your life
you are HIS FOREVER~
“For this is how GOD loved the world: HE gave HIS one and only SON, so that everyone who believes in HIM will not perish
but have eternal life
(John 3:16),
Therefore,
keep SINGING even if you feel as if you have nothing to sing about,
because you always have JESUS to sing about~
"Be cheerful no matter what; pray all the time;
thank God no matter what happens.
This is the way GOD wants you who belong to CHRIST JESUS to live"
(I Thessalonians 5:16-18).
Because
JESUS
is
CHRISTMAS,
therefore
CHRISTMAS
is FOREVER,
and that my friend
is worth singing about it,
just like every
WHO in WHOVILLE
(watch below)
who haven't stopped singing.
