Our Christmas tree only has one package beneath it. I have a
few more things bought but haven’t had time to wrap them. I still have some
shopping to do. While I love buying presents and the look on loved ones’ faces
when they open the presents, it does take a lot of time and planning to get
everyone something they really want.
By the time you get my age you know that people don’t always
get exactly what they want for Christmas every single year. That’s okay.
Because by the time you’re my age you also know that the most important gifts
are not the packages under the tree.
It’s a wonderful thing to realize that Jesus paid for
everything we will ever need. And we can have the best Christmas ever no matter
what. He lived and died and rose again to secure the most wonderful gifts for
us. Yes, He made a way for us to live eternally in heaven but oh there’s so
much more.
Reach under the tree and see what all is there for you. There’s all the joy you will ever need,
enough to get you through the saddest moments, that abiding joy is yours. Then
there’s the peace that passes all understanding – it will guard your heart and
your mind in Christ Jesus. There’s a full package of the love of God and. Keep
looking and unwrap every gift from God – don’t leave a thing unopened for you
need all the gifts God has for you to make it in this world, to excel as a
believer and to triumph over anything the enemy throws at you. Every blessing
God has is yours – every promise God spoke is for you. It’s as though you can
buy anything in the store and keep it forever – straight from the storehouse of
God’s Word!
Oh beloved, run to God's Word and read it, for it contains more promises of gifts from the Giver of Life than any Christmas catalog ever designed. And don’t let your heart worry over what might not
be, but instead concentrate on the gifts of God that belong to you in Christ
Jesus. See how wonderfully blessed you are? Look beyond the temporal to the
eternal and rejoice that Christ is indeed Lord of Christmas and Lord of
all. He loves you and He’s for you and
that’s a gift no one can take from you no matter what.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the FREE GIFT
of God is eternal life.
James 1:17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is
from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no
variation or shifting shadow.
Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passes all
understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Psalm 119:111 I have inherited Your testimonies forever, For
they are the joy of my heart.
