What is the best gift you’ve ever received? A handmade gift from your child, jewelry from your spouse, a quilt made by your Grandma?
We all have different things we hold close to our hearts, and throughout our lives those things often change. But there is one gift we have all been given the opportunity to receive. Not everyone will open this gift, some will open it and return it, others will open it, use it for awhile, then let it sit to gather dust, and yet others will choose to use it daily. Like other gifts we receive, we did nothing to earn it. We are given this gift because the Giver loves us more than anything. The gift I am talking about is Jesus Christ. God has given us his Son as a gift. We can’t buy what He has to offer us, we don’t deserve Him. We are all sinners, saved by Grace. God loves us so much, He wanted to take the chance on us, and offer us a gift. Like all other gifts we are given, we have the choice of what to do with it. Do we take it, use it for a while and then set it on the shelf? Do we refuse it all together, or do we use it all we can? God’s gift to us is eternal life through Jesus Christ his Son. Will you accept the gift He has waiting for you?
