What's Your Gift?

Don't you love birthday's. It's the one time a year that we get gifts, but we don't give them. For one day a year, hopefully, we feel spoiled. And when we go to some one else's birthday party, we usually pick our gift with care. In celebration of Jesus' birthday, I wonder...what can we possibly give the Creator of the Universe--the One who has everything? And then I thought about His only desire. He wants us to love. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." Matthew 22:17

If you think about it, love truly does cover over a multitude of sins. It makes us not only spend more time with God, because when you truly love someone you want to do that, right? But it also makes us better people. It makes us act more like Christians.

Look at I Corinthians 13.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails.

So, this Christmas, I want to give Jesus the gift of love. To desire more of Him and to work on loving others more.

What will you give Him?

Merry Christmas from Torrid Faith!
