“Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!” 2 Corinthians 9:15 (NIV)
There is a lot of thinking these days about gifts for Christians. People are getting ready to give gifts – shopping and wrapping. And they are also thinking about receiving gifts. Christmas is a gift time and we must not forget that God started it by giving His Son. When Christmas gifts are opened there are many expressions of reactions. We could say that those receiving the gifts eagerly Describe them with words like, “What a beautiful sweater!” or “What a wonderful gift!” We can try to describe the gift that God gave, but our verse reminds us that His gift is indescribable. No words can fully describe how great is this gift of His love. So, what do we do? We just thank Him with our whole hearts.
