The loved and familiar verse in John 3: 16 tells us: "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
What will you give to Jesus this Christmas? I think one of the gifts our Lord would like most is that of Faithfulness! In fact, Jesus speaks to us in the last book of the Bible, and says -- ". . .be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life." Which reminds me -- today is the mid-week service at our church, and I intend to be there--the Lord willing! I like the little quote that says, "there is always enough time in a day to do God's will", and Jesus told us in His wonderful Sermon on the Mount --
"Take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Where-withal shall we be clothed? for your Heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
So this Christmas, let us sing with the songwriter -- "Not just a part, or half of my heart -- I will give all to Thee!"
