Day Seventeen: 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.
Read James 2:17.
17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
You can show your generosity this Christmas, like the wise men did, by sharing Jesus with others.
Read Ephesians 2:8.
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—
Takeaway: Think about the gifts that God gives you and how you can use those gifts to tell others about Him.
