GIVE OURSELVES

“Every man according as he puurposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.”

2 Corinthians 9:7 KJV

I watched a Christmas movie about a family who didn’t have money to give each other Christmas gifts.  They decided to make gifts for one another and one of the children sold something she really loved to get money to buy gifts for the family.  It broke her heart but she loves her mom and dad. 

If you are like me, you don’t have money to buy gifts for your loved ones.  We may not have money to buy gifts but we can give ourselves to our family and our friends.  We can shut off the television set and spend time with our children.  The television has become an obstacle to spending time with each other.

May God help us to give ourselves to our loved ones this Christmas even if we have the money to buy big expensive gifts.  All the money in the world can’t buy love and that is why God gave His Son to die on the cross for us because He loves us so much.  Are you willing to give yourself to your family?
