The Greatest Gift Ever Given........


                                                   
                                           The Gift of Love

                                              Behold the amazing gift of love
                                                          The Father has bestowed
                                                          On us, the sinful sons of men,
                                                          To call us sons of God.

                                                          Concealed as yet this honor lies,
                                                          By this dark world unknown-
                                                          A world that knew not, when He came,
                                                          Even God’s eternal son.

                                                          High is the rank we now possess,
                                                          But higher we shall rise;
                                                          Though what we shall hereafter be
                                                           Is hid from mortal eyes.

                                                          Our souls, we know, when He appears,
                                                          Shall bear His image bright;
                                                          For all His glory, full disclosed,
                                                          Shall open to our sight,

                                                          A hope so great and so divine
                                                          May trials well endure,
                                                          And purge the soul from sense of sin,
                                                          As Christ Himself is pure
                                                                                          ~Isaac Watts.

"We are now nearing the close of another year, and shall we not make these festal days opportunities in which to bring to God our offerings? I cannot say sacrifices, for we shall only be rendering to God that which is his already, and which he has only entrusted to us till he shall call for it." (RH, December 11, 1879 par.15)

Jesus came to this dark and dreadful world…….

That we may be His sons and daughters!

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons (And Daughters) of God…….”  1 John 3:1

Oh what a gift of love He gave!

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13 
   
What my friends are we giving him in return?

All we are is His anyways!

He just gives us the choice to give back to him all that is His already.

So what are we doing with the things He has entrusted to us?........

It’s a question that should be asked every moment of our lives! But at this time of year, on this day of remembrance of the greatest gift of love ever given……let us not forget our dear savior! Let us return to Him everything we are!......It will be the greatest gift we could ever give……and it will bring the greatest joy and satisfaction you could ever own!
Let us not tarry……for Jesus is waiting……yes he is waiting for YOU, And He is waiting for me!

A wonderful Christmas Blessing to each and every one of you!
Your sister in Christ,
Cortney
