"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." James 1:17
Have you ever received a gift you had no use for?
Maybe a gift you didn't like so much?
Perhaps you were given a green scarf when your favorite color is blue, and then you realize that you don't even wear scarves at all!
Maybe, your gift wasn't even wrapped in colorful paper, in a decorated gift bag, no ribbons, no bows but just handed to you, late, in passing as an after-thought?
Recently I was given a beautiful birthday bag filled with three of my favorite things.
A notebook, a new coffee mug and a gift card-
but it wasn't the perfect gifts that warmed my heart...
it was the person behind the gifts.
She knew me.
She knows what I like, what I don't like, and what I need.
Gift-Giving is an Art-of-the-Heart, and my friend has this gift.
Do you?
If not, you can. It takes three simple things:
1-Time
2-Interest
3-Love
Jesus is the perfect example of Gift-Giving.
He gives us His Time...
He gives us His interest...
He gives us His Love...
He gives Himself...
But that's just me!
