GIVE THEM LOVE AND GRATITUDE

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

John 3:16 KJV

If you don’t know what to give Jesus for His birthday or what to give God for giving His Son to us, give them love and gratitude.  Has it gone from head knowledge to heart knowledge that the precious little Baby Jesus grew up and died on the cross for our sins?  He suffered pain and anguish that we will never know.

Think about it, the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS left His Father, His home and all that He had to come to earth and die for us.  God didn’t make Jesus come to earth.  Jesus had never sinned, have never done anything wrong yet He was spat on, cursed, mocked, beaten beyond recognition and rejected.

What kind of love is this?  It is an unconditional love that comes from the heart of our Heavenly Father and Jesus for you and for me.  They loved us yesterday.  They love us today and They will love us tomorrow.  What a healing balm it is to our weary battle scarred heart to know They will always love us.

Heavenly Father, as we celebrate the birthday of Your Son, may we remember to thank You for Your unconditional love for us.  Happy Birthday, Jesus.  I love You with all my heart and one joyous day I will see You face to face.  You are so precious to me and I appreciate You.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
