How To Avoid Hollow Days During The Holidays

Holiday hype is hollow and seldom satisfies the human heart. Jesus was born once, not once a year. Because of Jesus we can be born again and transformed by His presence.

Superficial holidays frequently feel like hollow days. Open your heart and dig deeper into the true meaning of Thanksgiving and Christmas and experience the supernatural reality behind them.

The Hollow-Day Season? Thanksgiving without a sincere “Thank You, Jesus,” and Christmas without a heart-felt “Praise You, Jesus,” make for an empty Hollow-Day Season.

Hollow days are seldom happy. Hollow days echo with loneliness and create a mental daze without end. Let the risen Jesus who was born in Bethlehem fill your days with hope.

The holidays that make me happy involve thanking God and adoring Jesus! A holiday song that isn’t about Jesus Christ isn’t a true Christmas song. Unless we focus on, listen to, and obey the living Jesus, the Christmas season is nothing more than happy holidays.

The best Christmas decorations are when Christ decorates your heart with His presence. When Jesus is truly living inside of you, every day is Christmas! Christ’s forgiveness can give you a white Christmas every day. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.”

Holidays?
If you’re experiencing
A hollow daze
During the holidays,
Turn your gaze
And your praise
Toward Jesus
And let Him raise
Your level of peace.

If you’ll let God’s Spirit
Fill your days
With His praise
The mental haze
Will clear
And you’ll hear
Him speaking
In your inner ear.

Holiday noise
And distracting
Traditions and toys
Often keep us from
Experiencing the true joys
Of celebrating the birth
And experiencing the presence
Of the living Jesus Christ.

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia."
