GIFTS FOR JESUS!
And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshiped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. (Matthew 2:11)

By now most of you have done whatever Christmas shopping you plan to do this year.  You wanted to find just the right present for the person you would give it to.  I am curious, what Christmas presents do you have for Jesus this year?  The Wise men brought gold, frankincense, and myrrh.  I wonder how many of us have any of those things available to give Jesus.  I haven't seen any frankincense or myrrh lately.  And gold is pretty scarce.  But there are some gifts that I have for him.  See if any of the following gifts are on "your" list.

1.  Give Jesus your heart 
2.  Give Jesus your time
3.  Give Jesus your tithes/offering
4.  Give Jesus your thoughts
5.  Give Jesus your family
6.  Give Jesus your love
7.  Give Jesus praise
8.  Give Jesus your talents
9.  Give Jesus your loyalty
10.Give Jesus your dedication
11.Give Jesus your worship
12.Give Jesus your best...

This Christmas, wrap yourself in a gift box with a red ribbon on top of it, and give Jesus what He gave for you......GIVE HIM YOUR LIFE!  That would really be a good "Gift for Jesus!"
 
             MERRY CHRISTMAS
