Day 17: Giving Gifts
Do you ever get excited when you have a gift to give someone? We often become filled with joy and love and feel excitement for the person who is receiving the gift. The wise men felt this same way about the gifts they brought to Jesus after He was born. They traveled hundreds of miles because the greatest gift had been given and they wanted to respond with the same generosity. No wonder we love to be so generous around the holidays. Every time we give presents, baked treats, or cards we’re representing God’s love to the world.
James 2:17 says, “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights…”
You can show your generosity this Christmas, like the wise men did, by sharing Jesus with others.
Takeaway: Think about the gifts that God gives you and how you can use those gifts to tell others about Him.
