God’s Perfect Plans for Christmas and Beyond
If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! Matthew 7:11
As we approach the season of giving, the image of carefully wrapped presents under a twinkling tree fills our minds. We understand the joy of selecting and presenting a perfect gift to our loved ones, especially to our children. In this festive atmosphere, let’s take a moment to reflect on the ultimate gift-giver—our Heavenly Father.
Reflect on the image of God, the perfect Father, carefully selecting and presenting the most precious gift the world has ever known. Jesus, born in Bethlehem, wrapped in humility and love, is the embodiment of God’s ultimate gift to humanity. It’s a gift surpassing all others, a gift that speaks of forgiveness, grace, and an everlasting relationship with our Creator.
Remember Christmas is a celebration of God’s ultimate gift, Jesus. And this gift does not end the day after the 25th. It’s a gift that keeps on giving, offering hope, redemption, and eternal life.
Prayer for today: Heavenly Father, thank you for the indescribable gift of your Son, Jesus Christ. As we exchange earthly gifts, help us remember the true meaning of Christmas—the miraculous gift of salvation. May our hearts overflow with gratitude for your perfect and eternal presents. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
