Secretly, I love presents…
“For out of His fullness (abundance) we have all received [all had a share and we were all supplied with] one grace after another and spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing and even favor upon favor and gift [heaped] upon gift.
John 1:16 AMP
I know it is more blessed to give than to receive, nevertheless, I honestly love receiving gift after gift after gift on my birthday or holidays. Yet I struggle when Jesus is the One giving them to me.
I often leave His gifts wrapped in their boxes with the pretty ribbons left untied. So beautiful to gaze upon, but I’m not sure I am worthy, ready, or willing…to open His gifts. Yet, He pursues me and never gives up on me; to someday open these gifts and make them mine and then pass them onto others. He wants me to tear into these presents with abandon like a toddler on their birthday.
He paid the highest price for these prizes and for us. I don’t want to let these wonder-filled treasures go unopened any longer. How about you?
