FROM HIS HEART

“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.”

Luke 2:11 KJV

Many people go into debt buying gifts at Christmas.  While it is nice to buy gifts to give at Christmas and all of us appreciate getting them, it is much more important to give gifts from our heart just as our Heavenly Father gave us His Son from His heart as a Gift of unconditional love.

One of the greatest gifts we can give is our time.  Joyce Landorf Heatherley, a Christian speaker and author, said on one of her teaching tapes that we should talk to our children.  She said “How can we expect our children to share what is in their heart with us if we don’t share what is in our heart with them”.

Let’s make a special effort this Christmas to not only give gifts we buy but also give of our time to our children and family.  What about Jesus?  The greatest gift we can give Him is our heart.  If you have never invited Jesus into your heart to be your personal Saviour, I urge you to do it today.

Heavenly Father, thank You for giving Jesus to us as a Gift from Your heart to not only be our Saviour but also to be the best Friend we will ever have.  I love You, Heavenly Father.  I love You, Jesus, and one day I will see You face to face.  I love You, Holy Spirit.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
