Devotionals
Do you remember the enthusiasm of childhood on Christmas Eve and anticipating those presents being unwrapped the following morning? I personally don’t recall any feeling quit the same. But are you aware there are wonderful things God has prepared for you? First Cor. 2:9 says that “No eye has seen or ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those you love Him.” Are you one of those who love God? Shouldn’t you be excited about the possibilities? Can you imagine yourself opening a present from your heavenly Father, saying to yourself, I wonder what it is?
You may not realize God's prepared things for you no one has ever seen before. Not unlike the first time seeing the beauty of a sunset or hearing the melody of a songbird. No eye has seen or ear heard. The Creator of all things has something in mind just for you; something that even the heart of man could not conceive. Now we know it’s the love of the parent that shines through those Christmas gifts, but did you know God loves you with a perfect love. He loves you with a love that can’t be imagined by the heart of man? If your gifts reflect your love for your child, how much greater will the gift God wants to give you be from His perfect love?
You can know this love by doing what the end of this verse says, “prepared for those who love Him.” There’s only one thing greater than knowing God’s love, and that’s loving God back. For when you take the love God has placed in your heart when you received Jesus as your Savior; this love is like a beam of light filling your spirit that bounces around in your heart like a chamber of mirrors, shooting out in every direction, with colors of the rainbow to cover the world around you with God’s love. If you’ve never felt God’s love flowing through you, then you haven’t experienced the wonder of the thing He’s prepared for you, His perfect love.
