A Perfect Gift

Have you ever actually received a perfect gift?

I have.

I remember initially receiving the gift a long time ago. I sat in the basement office of my childhood church. My mom was there. The pastor offered me a quarter. He said it wasn't a gift unless I kept it. He compared it to God's gift to me.

"For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." -John 3:16

His Son. What a gift of sacrifice. His Grace. What a gift of love.

He loves us. He wants us to be in heaven with Him. He gave us this gift.

It's not a gift unless we accept it. We can't return it or regift it (or store it in the giver's basement).

It is a perfect gift.

Have you received any perfect gifts lately?
