Topic: Beautiful (11/07/05)
How wonderful it is to get a gift that we didn't expect. The joy that fills our heart to think someone thought enough of us to give a present. Maybe it was just a card to let you know how much you have bless someone elses life. How beautiful is that first gift that a small child gives you; did it not bring tears to your eyes. No matter what it look like, you could see the beauty in the eyes of the child with such an accomplishment.
Oh how beautiful was the gift that God gave to us in the death of his Son Jesus on the Cross. We did not do anything so good that we should recieve this gift. A treasure of his blood that is more precious than silver or gold. A beautiful gem that is worth more than biggest diamond. Oh how I hold this precious gift deep in my heart that it will shine in the darkest of situations. No other death could have been as beautiful as His, or is more treasured. Let us be follow after Christ and give the gift of self. Let us give without complaining; let give it with the love of God in our heart. So one day God can say, oh how beautitful a gift you are in his kingdom.

God loves a cheerful giver- and that includes more than money. When we give of ourselves, there is no more beautiful sacrifice! Thanks for sharing:)

Worthwhile personal message. God's gifts...we really don't understand them, do we?
