CHRISTMAS EVE
The Perfect Gift
But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son.
Galatians 4:4
We rush around so much at Christmas trying to find the perfect gift for someone. It can be a very stressful time, and can take our focus off the real meaning of Christmas.
Most of what we buy is only for a moment in time. There is no real lasting value, especially when buying for children! We may lose interest, or it's finished with, or children's toys get broken and clothing is outgrown. In James 1:17, the Bible says, “Every good and perfect gift comes from God the Father, and His gifts are eternal.” He has given each of us 'gifts' to do His will. But the most important gift of all was the Gift of His son—Jesus Christ.
Each good and perfect gift that is given comes down from above, from our Father in Heaven.

Prayer
Almighty God, grant that I may truly know the new birth of Your Son in the flesh this Christmas time. I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ my Lord, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen.
