Do you know anyone who had a birthday party and everybody got gifts except the person whose birthday was being celebrated?
That’s what we do, every year, to Jesus. We buy gifts for family, friends, co-workers, bosses, people we like, and people we don’t like. Who does that? Most of us. We run around frantically. Some walk calmly. We max out our credit cards. We try to remember everyone on the list, then we remember people we forgot to put on the list. We bake, we decorate, we have or attend parties. We overeat, we drink too much, we travel, we send cards, and we give all kinds of gifts, usually expecting one in return. Whew! We don’t have to do it—at least, we don’t have to do it all. It’s not their birthday and it’s not yours. We make ourselves sick, broke, and weary when we don’t need to. Plus, you still didn’t get a gift for the one whose birthday we’re celebrating. If you got Him a gift, you could save yourself a lot of time, money, and energy. The gift that He wants is love. Love Him, love your neighbor and yourself. Price tag free! Free for all. Free to give and free to receive. It’s Christmas and your traditions don’t have to change, unless you want them to. But please remember to give a gift to the One whom we are supposed to be celebrating. That gift is love—love to all, every day, and not just on Christmas. Happy Birthday, Jesus. Copyright © 2019
