The Greatest Gift Of All


God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.  John 3:16

For the first time in a long while, I am almost finished with all of my Christmas shopping.  The past few years, I have found myself at retail stores late at night, battling throngs of last minute Christmas shoppers for scraps of picked over merchandise and I must say that it is quite miserable.

Regardless of trying to find the ‘perfect gifts” for our loved ones, the greatest gift of all has been given to us by God-his Son, Jesus.  Through his gift of Jesus, he also gives each of us the gift of eternal life.  What makes these gifts so wonderful is that we don’t have to work to earn them; they are given to us freely by our loving Father.

All we have to do is simply believe that God has given you his Son and the offer of eternal life with Him.  Once you accept these gifts, no one can ever take them away from you.

What is God calling you to do with your life?  Will you answer his call and follow him in faith, no matter what difficulties or challenges you face?
