A GIFT FROM THE HEART

"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."

Luke 2:11-14
King James Version

Someone asked me how I decide what I am going to write and the answer is you cam know when you receive a devotion from me, that it is because God spoke to my heart and inspired me to write it.

I have tried many times to write a devotion but the words would not come. Please know when you get a devotion or anything else from me, you can know that God inspired me to write it.

This is a devotion about our precious Saviour but it is also my way of honoring my beloved sister who not only gives from her heart at Christmas, she also gives from her heart every day of the year.

God knew that I would go through a devastating and crippling depression for over forty years so He gave my sister to me to help me. Is my sister perfect? No, she isn't just as you and i are not perfect. There was only one perfect person who ever lived or ever will live and His Name is Jesus.

I don't have the money to buy my sister gifts this year due to medical expenses so this is my way of honoring her and giving a gift to her from my heart.

Even if we can buy a lot of presents for our loved ones, we still should give from our heart because that is what God did for you and for me when He gave His beloved Son to die on the cross for us.

Thank You, Heavenly Father, for giving from Your heart. Thank You, Jesus, for giving from Your heart.

Thank You my beloved sister for giving from your heart every day of the year. I love you and thank God that He made us sisters.
