One Christmas, my boss, gave me a gift. It was an envelope. Being the sentimental person that I am, I tucked the envelope away to read later. I love reading and value words. Four months later while going through some stuff on my nightstand, I discovered an envelope. Curious, I opened it wondering why—or if I had forgotten to open it before. Sure enough, I had. When I opened it, there was a Christmas card that had a gift of $100 in it. With a gasp, I immediately called and enquired the reason she had not asked if I had seen it. She just smiled.
It caused me to think. God gives us many valuable gifts packaged in different ways. But if we never open it, we will never receive the value He has in store for us. Why not open your gift today? Accept the value He has for you.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. (Ephesians 2:8) Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift. (2 Corinthians 9:15)
