Growing up I remember so many great Christmas’s in my home. One Christmas my father decided to give me a gift that was a bit different. As a family we had a few traditions, like opening one gift on Christmas Eve and starting with our stockings on Christmas day. Each year someone got to play Santa and we our parents made sure that the sham Santa did not give away the big gift right away.
Usually we would get one big gift and that would be the last gift we opened. Well this year my dad went over the top and got me a gift I used for years to come. My sisters opened there big gifts and it was my turn. I noticed all I got was a piece of paper stuck in the tree. It was a clue and as I followed clue after clue I came to my gift. It was a dismantled basketball pole and at first I did not know what it was. After I put two and two together I got really excited!!
The gifts God has given us through Jesus Christ should get us excited, but often we don’t know what we are looking at or understand the incredible value that lies with each of them. Jesus has secured salvation, healing, victory, peace and blessing for us. Which one of those gifts have you yet to unwrap? Reach for them this season and unwrap an eternal gift from God!
“…for God's gifts and his call are irrevocable.” (Romans 11:29)
