The Gift :)

Jesus gives us so many wonderful gifts, but what can we offer Him? What do you give the Son of God, who loved us so much that He was willing to die an agonizing and extruciatingly painful death just so that we might live? What do we offer our Lord who lovingly paid the price for our sins so that we wouldn’t have to?

But the truth is, we do have gifts that we could offer Jesus, and they are gifts with which He would be well pleased. We could give Him our love, our faith and our time! For loves takes time to grow and faith takes time to build 🙂

As parents, we spend so much of our time working to provide for our families and to give our children every possible opportunity. And so we bring our children to baseball, and soccer and dance, and then sit down with them to help them with their homework. We rush to work and then we rush home to make dinner. From sunrise to long after sunset, we run through our many tasks and activities, buidling our families, careers, and homes.

But in our rush to give our children everything on this earth, how much time to we really spend on building our (and their) Heavenly Home, reading God’s Word, or in simple, quiet prayer seeking God’s Truth and Teaching our children to see it as well? Is that not the best gift possible?

In our Holy Bible, it says that God “delights” in us. So perhaps we do have Gifts that we can offer our Lord Jesus-our love and our time. And we can teach our children to do the same!

And if we wish to have a Faith as awesome and loving as Jesus’ Mother Mary’s is, then perhaps we should ask for it! And our Lord, who grants so many of our prayers on earthly matters, will surely be “delighted” that we love Him enough to ask for what matters most of all – Faith 🙂
