Priceless Gift Giving

Written by Rhoda Baty

Tis the season…

The news tells us we are not spending…

the store’s reaction is to generate more sales.

We want to give…

we want to bless others…

but money is tight…

so we say, “I can’t afford to give!”

Is that true?

Job, in one day lost everything…

and then was afflicted with boils all over his body.

His friends came…

they sat with him for seven days and seven nights. Job 2:13

The Gift of Presence –  Priceless

Zacchaeus a rich tax collector, not a favorite person…

up a tree just trying to get a glimpse of Jesus

Jesus notices and comes to his house. Luke 19:5

The Gift of Recognition – Priceless

A widow and her son…

Elijah asks for something to eat…

a drop of oil and a little flour, “enough for me and my son to eat and then die”, she says

she shares, her oil and flour didn’t run out. I Kings 17:8-16

The Gift of Sacrificial Obedience – Priceless

Tis the season…

God gave us His ONLY Son — the Gift of Eternal Life/Restoration – Priceless

Jesus gave — the Gift of Sacrificial Obedience – Priceless

What priceless gifts have you received? “Remember his marvelous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth” (1 Chronicles 16:12).

How are you willing to share the little you have? Who needs a blessing in your life this month? What do you have available to you that you can give?
