A Gift is the primary and basic reason for this season, today we are celebrating a gift that was given to humanity, free and void of human effort, The holy book, says in chapter 9,vers 6-7 of Isaiah, that unto our generation, a child is born and unto us a son is given, this same son that was given was to carry the government on his shoulder, names were accorded him, He was called wonderful, councilor, mighty God, Everlasting father, The prince of peace, it is well stated that of the increase of his peace and government will be endless,
Again in John 1:3-4, said that all things were made by him and without him was anything made that was made, also in him was the life of God and the life was the light of men, all this predate
Growing up, i never would believe that my life today will amount to anything but today i can say that my life was given a meaning, through the unforgettable gift that was made available at Christmas, I can now make bold to say that love through grace found me, i paid no prices, I did not labor, I only received a gift and through that very gift i am who i am today.
The Bible records that God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believe in him, should not perish but have life eternal (John 3:16),My life as at this material time was shapeless, formless, empty and void of direction, i was confused, my life was complicated, I did not know exactly were and how to go about it, i thought of giving up in life, many useless thought came to my mind, the more i went, the more life became helpless for me, I felt that life was coming to an end but i never new that there was a divine plan that came with Mercy, Grace and Help, all for me.
This gift came in my state of depression, confusion and hopelessness, knocked at door of my heart in one afternoon, while i was on a 45minute journey, while on transit, a young lady in the vehicle was lead to share her thought about love, the gift of Christ to a dying world, she concluded that in a season as this, love is the focal anchor, and that until, you receive the God kind of love, you will not enjoy the God kind of life, My heart was cut in between, I knew i deeded this God kind of life, but didn't know how to go about it, but at the end my heart received Gods love, and just in few days, my life experienced a dimension of change that i can't deny it evidence.
Today i can say again and again that the gift of the love of God, came to me at Christmas, and every of these season, reminds me of a priceless gift of love that gave me life, The gift of Jesus to me and to my family, I will forever remain grateful and committed to the one who loved me and gave himself for me.
The gift of love and the life of God is the greatest gift i have ever received, it came at Christmas and i will forever remain grateful. thanks once again for having me
