The race is on. We are officially in the Holiday Season and today is the first day of our new message series called Unwrapping Christmas.
During the Christmas Season, we are constantly bombarded by advertisements about finding the perfect gift. While it certainly can get out of hand, our culture correctly understands that Christmas is all about giving.
God is a giver. A generous giver. In fact, everything we own and are — our talents, our possessions, our opportunities, etc. — belong to Him. As John 3:16 tells us: “For God so loved the world that he GAVE his only son.”
Today, pray for the insight to see all the gifts God has given you. Think about where and when and how you are a giver. Sometimes it doesn’t take much to become a giver and become more like Christ. It can be a smile, a kind word, an encouragement or wisdom you share, or perhaps a helping hand. Pray that you become an ever more generous giver this last month of the year.
