Don’t miss the gift.

Last night (Christmas Eve) at church I shared a quick devotional thought during the service - I just wanted to pass those thoughts your way as reminder to those who were there and for those who weren’t something to think about.

In a nutshell by the end of this Christmas day more than likely every present under the tree will be unwrapped and move from the idea of being simply purchases by someone else to a “gift” for you.  Remember it’s not really a gift until we receive it… and better yet until we open it and make it our own.

That’s what God wants each of us to do with the “gift” he has given us.  Jesus Christ came as God’s personal gift to us.  Jesus is not only the gift - but he was the one who paid the price to purchase the gift of for you.  This gift brings forgiveness of sin, the abiding presence of God in our life, and hope for the future.  

So why in the world would anyone want to leave a gift like this unopened or worse yet - unwanted!  If you are one my friends checking out this blog that has never opened God’s Christmas gift to you… don’t wait do it right now… it will change your life forever.  

And if you are one my friends who has already opened the gift… then please today of all days - behold it with wonder, and marvel at this thing God has done for you.

Just a thought.
