In this Age of Consumerism, how much is enough? When do you have enough “things”?

Now thanks be to God for His Gift, [precious] beyond telling [ His indescribable, inexpressible, free Gift]! – 2 Corinthians 9:15 AMP

For it is by free grace (God’s unmerited favor) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it is the gift of God; -Ephesians 2:8 AMP

Where is the focus of your Christmas?

Do this, do that, go here, go there, buy this and that for this one and that one…spend time, effort and money trying to make the season jolly…but where is Jesus in your Christmas? How much of what we do is done because we are expected to do it?

Have you worshipped Him today? For who He is and not what He can give to you?

He is THE Gift of all time, given by our Heavenly Father to us to “unwrap” and discover the exceeding riches of His grace toward us. Only spending time with our Savior brings the peace, love and joy that we need to live a satisfying life. Giving and receiving gifts means nothing without the focus on THE Gift, Christ Jesus!

Don’t fall short by focusing on the gifts (plural) but focus on THE GIFT – our Lord, Jesus Christ! He is our everything. Worship Him.
