Gifts are always welcomed by the receivers. Usually, when purchasing
a gift for someone, we select the type depending on whom it is we are
presenting to. The greater the love, the better the gift and the attitude by
which it is selected and bestowed. Efforts and energies are never spared
when choosing a gift for anyone that is highly regarded by us.
The wise men travelled a long time and long ways to reach their destination.
(Matthew 2:1-13) They were determined to present their gifts to the recipient.
Even though they were almost deceived by a wicked king. Herod wanted to kill
the receiver of their gifts. God guided them with instructions that would save
them and the young child. He told them not return to Herod, but leave the city
another way.
A determination is needed when we consider presenting gifts to anyone. Time and
energy to find, purchase, wrap the item, and then locating the beneficiary are all
proof that we have the giftee best interest at heart.
The wise men had faith to believe in the star that guided them to the answer that
they were a long time seeking. They were skilled astrologers and avid observers
of times and seasons. Finding the city would not be so hard for them, however
locating the exact dwelling place of the Christ Child could only be Divine.
They had to have been inspired by the Holy Spirit, who put a longing in their
hearts to meet the one that was selected by God to bring SALVATION to all
This holiday season may you seek out those to whom you will be guided.
Present them with gifts that will make them feel special, even as the wise men
did for Jesus. (Matthew 25:31-46)
