I love giving gifts to people. One of my favorite things in the world is wrapping Christmas presents and imagining the excitement the recipients will have when they open their gifts. When I give gifts, I am literally bursting at the seams with joy and excitement because I just can’t wait to make the other person’s day. What makes me even happier is when the recipient of my gift truly loves their gift. It fills my heart and soul with so much warmth to give a gift that brings someone else joy. So often, we talk about Jesus being a gift to us. However, it wasn’t until today that this truth really clicked for me. I always imagined that God was like, “Ugh! The humans screwed up my plans. I guess I will give my son to save them. It’s the only way really. Sigh….”
NO!!!! Today we were singing joy to the world and I was like I bet God is bursting at the seams to see us, the recipients, so happy to receive his gift. Like what a concept. God didn’t forcibly give his son to save us because he had to. He gave his son because he loved us and wanted us to have joy. And, just like when I give gifts to others, I think this brings our heavenly father plenty of joy too. I hope this helps somebody rise a little higher today, Brooklyn
