In continuation to our post of yesterday, another thought that comes to mind is - is Christmas all about giving or is it about receiving?
There is not one human in this wide world who has nothing to give. Everyone has something and everyone has time.
Time for children, for parents who live their life now through you, for the elderly who are lonely, for the sick who need some care. Each one of us has a need and each one has something to share.
Our needs are known to God. God has given us His gift. But what will we share? What present will we lay at the manger?
If we come to him with gifts, then we put him in the position of a needy person, and we become the benefactors, which is incorrect. We live on His grace, His provisions and His protection.
Therefore, the only gifts that we can bring Jesus are gifts of praise, thanks, longing, and neediness. And out time for His creation.
