GIVE TODAY

“And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.”

Matthew 2:11 KJV

We will be giving gifts to our loved ones at Christmas but we can give a gift today to Jesus.  We read in the Bible.  “And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me”(Matthew 25:40).

If you want to make Jesus happy and give Him a gift today, love others unconditionally just as He loves you.  The greatest gift we can give our family and our loved ones is to love them unconditionally and to forgive them if they have hurt us.  We also need to ask them to forgive us if we have hurt them.

Heavenly Father, I pray You will search my heart and if there’s anything that hurts You, I’m sorry.  Please forgive me and help me to love others unconditionally as Jesus has commanded us to love.  Please comfort and encourage all who are discouraged.  I love You, Heavenly Father.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
