We americans commercialize everything. look at what we did to christmas. christmas is jesus' birthday. now, i don't know jesus, but from what i read he was the least materialistic person who ever walked the earth. no bling on jesus. he kept a low profile and we turned his birthday into the most commercial day of the year. in fact we have a whole jesus birthday season. and then at the end of it, we have the nerve to have an economist come on tv and say what a horrible jesus birthday season we had.

On the ground of our own goodness we cannot expect to have our prayers answered. but jesus is worthy, and for his sake we may have our prayers answered. there is nothing too choice, too costly, or too great for god to give him. he is worthy. he is the spotless, holy child, who under all circumstances acted according to the mind of god. and if we trust in him, if we hide in him, if we put him forward and ourselves in the background, depend on him and plead his name, we may expect to have our prayers answered.
