The greatest gift of all is one we all have.
It is something you have never given to someone, because they already have it, and because you don’t have an extra one to give. It is a gift you received before you left the womb and a gift that is irreplaceable. This gift is life. Life. A word full of meaning. A thing full of joy, sorrow, pain, gain, loss, friendship, and so much more. Life is full. Who is the gift giver? And why would He give such a gift to any of us knowing we would abuse it? The gift giver is God. The God of everything. The God who created the world. He created you, too. He gave you life. And you abuse it. I abuse it. We are life-abusers. But that’s why Jesus came. He came to save our broken, filthy, abused lives. The question is, why? Think about it this way. If you gave someone a gift that you loved and saw to be good, and that person defiled it—I mean truly messed everything up—what would you do? Would you walk away and never talk to that person again? Maybe. But you would probably want to fix it if you could. Well, God wanted to fix us. He wanted to save our lives because He loves us. And that’s what He did. God gave us a gift. He wants us to keep it. So let’s keep it and use it to its full potential. You have a gift. Live it well.
