A Present of Joy for All





Today I was looking at the presents that I had wrapped and put under the tree.  Some of them look almost presentable, some of them not so.  I do not have the gift of gift wrapping.  Though some of the presents that I wrap look down right messy the gifts inside are pretty nice.  Sometimes it is a guessing game on what to give.  I am hoping that the recipients of the gifts will find joy in them.  The gifts that I have given to various people this year have scents, can be worn or can be eaten.  I am just hoping that when the gifts are opened they will be received with joy.  Sometimes I can tell if a gift brings joy or if it is just another ho hum gift.  

There is a present waiting for all.  Some have already opened it but some won't.  Some are scared, some are angry and some are just stubborn.  Today we are celebrating the birth of a Heavenly King.  Our Lord and Savior came as  a present of joy to all.  It is never a ho hum gift!  If you haven't accepted this gift, today, this day that we celebrate the birth of this present of joy for all, would be a great day.  It doesn't matter if you are messy, tidy or somewhere in between this is the best gift of all!

Don't keep waiting!

Luke 2:10 (NIV)

10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.

John 3:16-17New International Version (NIV)

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
