Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back. Luke 6:38 NLT 

God helps us examine our hearts and recognize the needs of others. He nurtures faith and helps us find strength in Him. He prepares us for simple acts of giving so we will learn to become GIVERS of compassion and LOVE.     

Oh, how we need to welcome Jesus, RECEIVE he greatest GIFT and SHARE the glorious news of Christmas! He is the WAY to the Father. He brings PEACE to our souls and places JOY where it can be found. He readies us to say “goodbye” to doubt and guides us as we learn to follow Him. He gives us HOPE to cope.  

When we help others walk in His love, God increases our desire to share good will toward men. As we learn to GIVE with a spirit of gladness, He uses us in mighty ways to share about His Son. He readies us to be greatly blessed.     

Every soul deserves to find PEACE and JOY especially at Christmas. We mustn’t miss opportunities to share Christ’s love and remind others God’s will was fulfilled by the Savior. Let’s ALWAYS be ready to share the good news and be GIVERS of what has already been given to us. 

Dear God, thank you! Our hearts are humbled as we reflect on the birth of Jesus and share the compassion of His love. Thank you for our Savior! Open our hearts so we will make room for Jesus. We will find PEACE in the gifts of Your greatness and never be afraid to share the good news with those You love. Thank you, Lord! Thank you for Christmas and the love You provide as You use us in mighty ways to respond to the needs of others and share our love for YOU. Amen
