12th Gift – The Love of God

We often think of the baby in the manger of Bethlehem as God’s ultimate gift. But in reality it was on the cross, the altar on which Jesus gave himself on our behalf that God’s gift was given. God’s gift of love is eternal life. That gift is the life of Christ which can become ours at Calvary! At this very end of our 40 day you can begin a new life’s journey that will last forever. Today on Christmas is the perfect time to give your life to Him. He has given so many gifts and we can trust Him to lead us through all the rest of our life’s travels.

Why don’t we take some of you time right now and think back and be thankful for these 12
