Luke 11:13 If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

When it comes to Christmas or birthdays, we do try to think about the gifts we are going to give to others – why, because we love them in some way or another!

If we spend that amount of time thinking about the presents we are going to give to our friends and family, then how much time must God have thought about the perfect gift for us?

I know He is not limited by time, but He has given us a gift which surpasses all other gifts – because of His love for us which goes far and beyond any other love!

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Let us talk about gifts this month! God has given us some pretty amazing gifts, the most quoted of which is probably from this verse.

God gave us His Son! Jesus came to live on earth as a human man so He could take away the sins of the earth.

The only way He could do this was to give His life, a life without sin, as a sacrifice to atone for the life we owe for doing things wrong against God!

Think about it…

John 4:10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”

A statement here made by our Lord stays the same now as it was then – if only people realised who Jesus is, they would ask Him for help and He would serve up feasts!

When we ask things of our God, are we asking as a person who asks another person – maybe they can give us what we need…

Or are we willing to ask as a person asking God – I know you can give this to me and I know you are willing to give it to me… please may I have it?
