“Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.”” Mark 10:15 ESV
Little kids and big kids love gifts. To get something that is hidden by pretty paper and ribbons. A surprise waiting to be opened by a child full of wonder. It's always fun watching them tear into something and how excited they get when someone gives them a gift. But if they just hold the gift and never accept it then there is no joy or understanding of what it contains.
In the same way God gave us an incredible gift. He sent His Son to die on the cross so that we could be forgiven of our sins and spend eternity in heaven. The problem is we have to accept it. We have to actually reach out our hands past our pride filled hearts and take the gift He gives.
He gave the greatest gift and once we accept it and receive His guidance over our lives then we daily have the gift of His presence to walk us through each day.
Merry Christmas - accept Him and receive the most life changing gift ever. Everything else is just stuff.
