| The person who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, because God is love. 1. 1 John 4:8-10 |
Meaning of Gift: a thing given willingly to someone without payment; a present:
The word "gift" is in the King James Version of the Bible 59 times. It is in 52 verses.
The gift ... When we think of gifts we think of celebrations, bright beautiful packages, balloons. As children, we are super excited to open the biggest and best first. And then work on the others. The envelopes... hmmm is their money. Yes, score!! Most children do not even read the words on the card.
But as we grow up, we hopefully have recognized there is a difference. Sometimes the most beautiful package is void of substance or thought. And we find it is not what we truly need and are maybe disappointed. But the package that is small and simply wrapped with loving hands has the most precious hidden treasure...The money is nice but the written word within the card speaks and stays in our hearts longer than it takes to spend the cash.
Knowing this, and as I try to see how the gift relates to the Bible. I have these thoughts. God asks us to come as children. But the uniqueness of this is, we bring the wisdom that we should have gathered along the way.
So, we have the excitement of a child yet can appreciate the smallest most precious gift He could share with us. It’s His treasure. It’s a gift of humble beginnings. It’s a gift that speaks to our hearts. It’s considered a product of unbridled love and reaches far beyond the universe. It’s a gift that will last for eternity. It is guaranteed for life. Being it’s a gift, the only thing you need to do is open it! It’s yours, it’s amazing, I hope you LOVE it as much as I do.
However, I must admit I did not find it! It actually found me! I would urge you to find it, place it in your heart, use it, and share it. You will find an unexplainable love, joy, and excitement. It never ends, it just continues to grow into a beautiful spiritual journey.
There is no card but the words that are whispered will be written across your heart. They will hold value more precious than you can even begin to imagine. This gift is for everyone, there is no age limit or gender preferences. The supply is endless. It has been available since the beginning of time!! It is considered to be a precious gift... It’s priceless!
For those who are still not clear about this gift.
It’s Him, It’s always Him
Jesus Christ ✝🎁
Please unwrap the gift of a lifetime. Your life will never be the same again.
Happy Easter!
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.James 1:17 ESV
As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: 1 Peter 4:10 ESV
