There is one gift
that God gives that He gives most freely and without measure. There is one gift offered to all mankind -
Despite their personality - despite their character - despite their job title -
despite their wealth - despite their background - despite what they’ve done -
despite where they’ve been - despite it all.
This gift is not just
for the pious - The religious - the gifted - the talented - the skilled - the
ambitious or the intelligent. This gift
is not just for the studious - the brilliant - the well known or the well
liked.
Unlike any other gift
from God, this gift does not elevate us above others.
Unlike any other gift
from God, this gift gives us nothing to brag about, nothing to toot our own
horn.
This gift does not
reveal to others how much more spiritual we are than they.
This gift needs no
coaxing, no study, no striving for and no work on our part.
Even though it is the
best gift of all, there is nothing you or I can do to earn it or achieve it.
Neither will we ever
deserve it.) (To be continued)
