All I Want for Christmas Is You

   All I Want For Christmas Is You is a song about a woman singing all she wants for Christmas is a certain person. All she wants is that person. She doesn’t want any presents. Christmas is a time where we think of gifts. When we think of those gifts we usually think of things. We don’t usually think of wanting a person. However, this song proves that sometimes all you want/need is one special person.

   If you were to sing this song, who would you sing it about? Would you sing it about your child, significant other, or a relative that lives far away? Hopefully, some of you see where I am going with this. The only person that we need in our lives is Jesus. All of the things on earth are temporary. If we don’t have Jesus we will perish.

   John 14:6 says: “Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" There is no other way we can have eternal life. We should be singing All I Want for Christmas Is You about Jesus. If we are not singing it we are going to perish. God loves us so much that he sent his Son to die for us. John 3:16 says: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” God loves us that much that he would give us the greatest gift. He gave us his Son.

   This Christmas I encourage you to think about what God has done for you. He has blessed you with everything you have. He has also given you eternal life. All you need to do is choose to accept his gift.
