Meditate on gifts you’ve given and received.
So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him. Matthew 7:11
And I have been a constant example of how
you can help those in need by working hard. You should remember the words of
the Lord Jesus: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'" Acts
20:35
Would you rather give a gift or receive it?
Well…spiritual gifts are only for receiving. We can’t really give spiritual gifts
since those come from our heavenly Father. He gives good gifts. Ask for
whatever you need…spiritually. Consider the gift of the Spirit—the fruit of the
Spirit.
But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of
fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these
things! Galatians 5:22-23
What have you asked for…spiritually? Jesus was a special gift…given just for us. Have you received the gift of Salvation that He offers?
Prayer ~ Heavenly Father, Thank You for giving us the gift of Your One and Only Son. He is a gift of which we are unworthy…but eternally grateful.
Verse of Salvation ~ God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Ephesians 2:8
