THE PRICELESS GIFT OF LOVE
More valuable than any human possession, love endures and prevails in every circumstance because love is divine in origin. God is love. So never underestimate its phenomenal power and priceless worth.
Some time ago, a man punished his 3-year-old daughter for wasting an entire roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box to place under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and shouted, “This is for you, Daddy!”
That father was utterly embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger only grew when he discovered that the box was empty. He yelled, “Don’t you know, when you give someone a present, there’s supposed to be something inside?” The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried, “Oh Daddy, it’s not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. They’re all for you, Daddy.”
The father was completely crushed. His strong arms held his daughter as he begged for her forgiveness. A few months later, a tragic accident took the life of the child. And her father kept the gold box at his bedside for years. Whenever he felt discouraged he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there. Indeed, love is the most precious gift in the entire world. Cherish and nurture it.
Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING. Maranatha!
