LOVE’S GIFT
came to us with the birth of Jesus
Christ, God's Son and Man's Savior.
When God gave His Son, He taught
us the real joy one may receive when
we give our gifts in love.
A loveless gift will chill and harden
a sympathetic soul and prepare a
soil in which the seeds of hypocrisy
may grow and bear its selfish fruit.
A love gift will warm and soften
the selfish soul and will fuse all man
kind into a Christian brotherhood.
Christ's work and ministry was one
of love. Hence, we find the result
of His work, so vast, so far-reaching,
so abiding, and so worthy of our emu
lation. The world is dying for a lit
tle bit of love! Who is withholding
his or her bit of love, as he or she
serves?
