“ And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him.”
2 Corinthians 5:18
Everything that God is and has to offer is a FREE GIFT to us. One that no one can ever top. One that NEEDS to be accepted, but people just leave it under their Christmas tree for years. Yet, its still offered and given freely. The light that is inside of it just seeps out the paper and busts through the tape.

Its like an unending gift that is given EVERYDAY. You open and receive it and you think that you have used it all. You also think you are done with it, BUT you only wake up to find it there again but this time EVEN BIGGER. You then proceed to open it again and you find more of each thing that was in there before.
You accept it again and get rid of the OLD because you realize that this gift is NEW. You see that this very gift is what you have been longing for this whole time, and becomes your favorite one of all. You find out that shopping around for yourself got you nothing but junk that you ended up getting rid of, but this gift is PRECIOUS. This gift isn’t from Santa, your family, or your friends, it’s from God who FREELY offered it to you.
SO… What do you do with a gift that is your favorite of all?
You tell others about it. You show them everything that you were given. I mean isn’t that what happens at Christmas? You get something that you love so much, you just show off your gift? You can’t keep the joy and excitement of a NEW GIFT to yourself. You want to tell everyone about it. Then people will see that your gift really is the best gift of all and they will want it. After they heard all about it or have seen it, they will go buy it as well. In this case.. IT’S FREE. Once they accept the free gift, it starts all over again for them. The excitement in their life, the sharing with everyone about their NEW FREE GIFT, the reaching out and spreading the unending love that was in there, will soon touch another person. From there it just grows and grows. It’s the GIFT THAT NEVER ENDS. It keeps on going and going.
God freely is giving us this gift not just on Christmas or on a holiday, but EVERYDAY. Who doesn’t want to open up a new gift each morning from the one who knows exactly what you need. All you have to do is just ACCEPT it and SHARE it with others. Thank God for caring about us so much that he gives us EXACTALY what we need each morning.
