The Gift of Love

Not too long ago I was having a conversation with a coworker and she made the comment what does love have to do with Christmas and my response, EVERYTHING! Christmas is all about love because Jesus was sent here to show his love. The scripture says, for God so LOVED the world he gave his only begotten son. God loves us so much he sent Jesus as a gift to show us the way and to be a sacrifice.

God continues to give to us each day with many other gifts as well, peace, joy, family and friends. I was reading a devotion this morning that spoke about appreciating and being grateful for the things that God has given to us and that we must take an active approach, in order for us to receive the gifts of God we must acknowledge and pursue them. So today as you spend time with family and friends take time also to appreciate all the many gifts that God has given to us including the gift of Jesus and His love for us. Merry CHRISTmas to you and your family!
