What can you give Me, the King of kings and Lord of lords, whose throne is heaven and whose footstool is earth? What could you possibly give Me, the one who has everything? Gifts from your heart. Any gift from the heart is a gift that I will treasure.
Each person is created with a unique blend of gifts, talents, and abilities. Some may be natural abilities—a quick or inquisitive mind, or an aptitude for a certain skill or type of work, for example. Some are gifts of the spirit, such as the gifts of humility, optimism, compassion, and self-sacrifice. But one of the greatest gifts of all is the gift of love. This is a gift that everyone receives a measure of, and it’s a part of having been created in God’s own image.
All these precious gifts have been given to enrich your life and the lives of others. It makes Me happy when you use them to benefit others and make them happy.
What can you give Me this Christmas and in the coming year? Use what you have, what you’ve already been gifted with, to the full. In doing so, you are giving back to Me, and the most wonderful thing happens: Your gifts and talents grow, they are multiplied, and that love that was your motivation spreads from heart to heart and comes back to you.
