The Gift

There are many gifts that are flashy to the eyes that will bring joy for the moment only to age and remain in this land so one could keep searching for a newer version that comes and goes receiving the emptiness it withholds Yet there is One that shall remain you can not wrap it for it shall be placed within and illuminate its way out there is no price tag beyond reach for it has been paid for and offered freely to fulfill ones soul beyond what we can imagine For God gave the greatest gift nothing can compare To the Love shown To send His Son to fulfill his word defeating the captivity in bondage of sin He willingly laid down His life as the Gift Of giving only wanting in return For One to believe to receive life Loving us more than ourselves for we do not know Love until knowing Jesus To allow Him to hold your hand giving one the only exit off the wide road Receiving the Gift of the Holy Spirit putting a deposit down claiming one belongs to Him creating through his grace a new living creature refining one with new guidance and vision to guide one down the narrow path The Gift that gives us light to walk upon and separate one from a dark deceived world that we might walk in the shadows of death In hope that we through him might lead one to the greatest Gift
