Your Gift


they presented unto him gifts
(Matthew 2:11)

Mankind was busy with business, marriages, taxes and death but a few wise men took time to seek Jesus and offered Him valuable gifts. In our celebration of Jesus' birth into the world and into our hearts, let's consider what we can give as a gift to Jesus this year. Here are a few ideas:

  • Committing more time daily to seeking and knowing Him
  • Giving a special chunk of time (a day, week or weekend) during the year to seeking Him
  • A new project to serve Him and be blessing to someone
  • An increased amount of regular giving of money
  • A special gift to a ministry or a needy person or family
  • Defining a new time of prayer together as a couple or a family
  • Specifically allocating more time to give personal attention to our spouse or family
  • Your idea (may the Holy Spirit inspire us)

To solidify the giving of your gift to Jesus, tell someone what you are doing.
