Before a gift can become what it was designed to be, it must first be given, then it must be received.
God has given His gift to the world, the Christ-child born in Bethlehem.
John 3:16-17 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. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
I unwrapped Heaven’s Gift when I was ten years old. I heard the message of Jesus and the cross and that if I believed in him and asked Him to forgive my sins and come into my heart, He would and He did and I will never forget the spirit of peace within. It’s still there.
Is there a moment in time when you unwrapped Heaven‘s Gift? I hope so. It’s a life and death matter.
2 Corinthians 9:15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
