I've been shopping today...
trying to get all those last minute gifts
Hoping to get just the right thing for each person.
Sometimes when I get the PERFECT gift...
I can't hardly stand it...
I want to give it to them right now!
I just can't wait!
I'm so excited and I just know their gonna love it!
It makes me feel so good inside!
You know what I mean?
But what if they didn't want my gift?
What if they didn't like it, or they didn't think they needed it...or they didn't think it was good enough for them??
What if they just didn't care?
What if they thought it was a joke...
And they laughed at it?
How horrible would that be?
After all, I was doing something nice for them
I spent so much time thinking about what they might like...
what they might need...
how could they just make fun like that
they don't even want it!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
God gave us the ultimate gift
A Savior!
have you excepted his gift?
Or have you tossed it aside
uninterested...
unopended...
if so...
He has one with your name on it...
please pick it up again...
look at it a little closer...
He knew what you'd like...
He knew what you needed!
You just have to receive it...
then you'll KNOW...
that it's what you longed for all along!

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16
Amen !
ReplyDeleteI agree with Linda-- Amen!! :)
ReplyDeleteI decided to respond to your comment here...I know what you mean about a narrow mantel! I think I have the world's narrowest mantel. I would love for my hubby to add an extension to it, but that's one of a long list of projects. We just have to work with what we got, I guess!!
Hallelujah! The best gift ever! Merry CHRISTmas, Sharon! Thank you for visiting Take Six!
ReplyDeletePowerful thoughts! I love the part about our gift having our name on it. Your hand-stamped wrapping illustrates it beautifully! I love the brown paper...
