Christmas week is approaching, and while those in Christ are in an attitude of pondering gratitude for the birth of our savior, most of the world is enjoying this season as a time for extra food, fun, and family time. While those things aren't wrong - it's interesting how everyone gets the gifts except the "birthday boy."
Are we truly surrendering, offering ourselves as a living sacrifice?
Our adoration of Jesus barely can scratch the surface of what he deserves as a "gift." No gifts we can give compare to what he gives us. But now that I can grasp the depravity of my own sin without him, and now that I understand my deep, deep need for him, I know now that my worship is from the heart, and the words to all of those Christmas songs have a much greater meaning to me. Not only on Christmas week, but every day.
If you're looking to bless Jesus, give him your whole heart and your most sincere worship.
