The Perfect Christmas Present

“Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift.”
II Corinthians 9:15

Isn’t it wonderful to know that God loves you so much that He gave His only Son as a gift? You owed a debt of sin you could not pay. So, God sent Jesus from Heaven to earth and required of Him that He shed His blood in order to pay your debt for sin. What a perfect gift! Jesus gave Himself.

As you contemplate giving the perfect gift to those you love this season know that the only individual who can give a perfect gift is God. James Said, “Every generous act and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father” (1:17). The only way we can give the perfect gift is if we become the deliverer of God’s gift. So the question becomes what does God want me to deliver to those around me? My suggestion is first make sure they have received the gift of Jesus. Second give like God gives; give yourself. Instead of spending half a day searching for the perfect present spend a half a day building an experience and sharing your love. Let God give you to someone special this Christmas. Instead of UPS or FedEx making the delivery for you slow down and take yourself. Let your presence and actions be the physical love of Jesus.  You just might be that perfect gift from the Father above.
