Christmas 1994: Channeled Message
Dear Children of the Light,
We wanted to join you for your Christmas celebration tonight.
We also want to share with all of you the following - Part of your Christmas custom includes giving gifts for the celebration of Christmas. How many have taken time to wonder why this began?
We begin at the beginning... God gave the gift of life to both male and female. One of the female beings, called Mary received in her body a male child to be named Jesus of Nazareth. She gave birth to Jesus. Wise men came to celebrate the birth by giving gifts and receiving blessings. Jesus's message gave us the gift of love and forgiveness. Having received this gift from Jesus, we then can give the same gift back to all other beings everywhere.
Spiritual human beings give the gift of forgiveness and love and they have chosen to give it through the vehicle of celebrations, especially at Christmas time. So always keep in mind that whether you are giving or receiving, you are really receiving and/or giving forgiveness and love. This will give you a fuller picture and perception of gift giving during the Holidays.
On the other hand, when we are not exercising our spirituality, we will many times get caught up in materialism, where in essence the gift may be given or received without the right motivation being present. So be always spiritually aware that whatever you give – the greatest gift you can give is your love to that being.
And lastly, the greatest gift you can give back to God is what you do with His gift to you of
life.
So the life that you live is what you are giving back to God. Check often to see if it is what you want to give to God.
So, Dear Children in the Light, Celebrate with love, forgiveness if necessary, and have a joyous, peaceful, harmonious Christmas and New Year.
Namaste,
Chetana
