In Reply to: Who you need is God. - NM

God is not specific to ONLY Christians, and Christmas, these days, is not specific to celebrating the birth of our Dear Lord, Christ. Lots of things in this pitiful world have turned their faces and ideas away from God for fear of offending someone who may not believe and ending up in the court system to decide who has the right and who does not. Everything these days is very *commercialized* and to say that someone does not have God in their lives or in their hearts simply because they do not care about the *commercializm* this world has turned to, is UNGODLY, as well, because you are standing in judgement of another. God is everywhere. God is everything. God is within and without. God is not Christmas. God is in your heart and soul. Celebrate God every day, not just at Christmas. God is not specific to any one organized religion and God is not worshipped through any one given man made holiday. This is JMO!
