GIVE FROM YOUR HEART

"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
King James Version

Someone said "I don't have any money to buy Christmas presents". It doesn't matter if we have all the money in the world to buy gifts, if we don't give from our heart, the presents don't mean anything. God gave from His heart when He gave His beloved Son to die on the cross for our sins.

Even if you can buy a lot of gifts, if you don't give from your heart, the gifts don't mean anything. It's like the little boy said, "My mother played with me and talked with me all day on Christmas day but the next day, she turned on the television and ignored me for the rest of the year except to tell me what to do".

I think that's what we do to Jesus. We put on Christmas cantatas and Christmas musicals and have candlelight services but what about the rest of the year. Think how happy Jesus would be if we honored Him every day of the year. As we celebrate Christmas and honor Jesus and give Him gifts, let's remember to honor Him and give Him our time, our talents and our service every day of the year.
