There is no gift a store holds that your money can buy. No matter how big your bank account and no matter where you shop, you can’t solve the situation that easy.
Most of us are always looking for the easy way out or certainly the quickest solution in order to get on with the next item on our “to do” list. Anything that takes time and prayer must be put on the end of the list so we can finish the other things first.
Could you give Him some time for prayer? Could you find the time to let Him speak to you about His plans for your life? Would you have time to help a needy family meet their needs and find an everlasting friend in Jesus? If possible, would you visit a nursing home and just shed a little love to those who never have visitors, and just maybe you would like it so well you would go back next month and the month after?
The best present we could ever give Jesus is the gift of ourselves. Our gift should include total surrender of our lives and our talents to Him, and to make Him first on our “to do” list every day. Spending time with Him should be before any job agenda of the day or certainly before any decisions are made for the day.
Jesus doesn’t demand anything of us. He never overrides our will or forces Himself upon us. He lovingly waits upon us to come willingly to Him and then, He will give us the desires of our heart, when we totally surrender our all. Jesus is the reason for the season. We must never forget that.
I pray each of you will have a very blessed Christmas season and remember the greatest gift we can give is love and the author of love is Jesus Christ.
The Glory Of His Presence
