Why does it feel like there is so much power in a gift?
A meaningful gift can move someone from neutral to abundance in an instant.
Can a gift move you if you never received it?
It doesn’t change the fact that the gift was given. Every new day that gift is readily available to reach out and receive. Not only were we a gift from God the Father to Christ Jesus. But Jesus Christ was a gift to me. Our value to the Father is beyond our understanding because He badly wants our love.
How hard have you searched for the people that you love?
Do they experience the joy of your bottomless love for their attention, for their heart, or just to be in their life?
Is it possible to experience the joy of a gift without ever receiving it?
How can I feel the excitement of a gift if I never open it?
Eventually, I have to choose to receive it. The willingness required to choose this is up to me. It's a gift I open in faith, not knowing what I’m taking on. Sometimes choosing to let go and truly receive the joy of a gift given in love can be challenging. Many of us have been through a lot.
Why would anyone love me after what I've done in my life?
For so long, I walked around knowing there was a plan for me and a higher purpose for my life. I always needed clarification on what this meant. It had never been explicitly clear to me. Once I gave my life to Christ everything changed instantly. I felt this change but didn't fully understand it.
In the same way you can feel heat radiate off a light bulb. My old self was gone, the new creation was born. I was literally developing all over again. I matured into my old self, but my new creation was only just born. Colossians 1:28 growth had started. From being an infant to growing in my faith, learning how to feed myself and walk on my own. Learning who Christ had called me to be. Understanding His will in my life and knowing the truth about who He says I am!
If you're going through this process, you may be like me. I hope to encourage you as you mature in your faith walk with Christ. Understanding your true identity and who Christ made you to be is the beginning of our eternity with Him.
