Thanks For the Gift and the Giver

Wow, what a gift* so well-presented Making me absolutely elated Opening with glee I’m now prompted With excitement, cheerfully spirited! Such gift is truly blessing-laden Lifting away my heavy burden For its message says I’m fully forgiven That assures me peace, and abode in heaven! Thanks for the gift with eternal guaranty No one can pay its priceless certainty Since it costs the life of a deity Who sacrificed Himself for humanity. I cherish that gift of life’s fullness Packed with the Giver’s love and faithfulness May He find me showing my thankfulness Along my joy to share it with willingness! *James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Dear God, Thanks for Your gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ, the Saviour and Lord. Today, I accept Your gift of grace, as I put my faith in Your Son, Jesus Christ, Who died on the cross, was buried and rose again to pay for the penalty of my sins. Please forgive my sins, while I repent, believing that only You can assure me of heaven. I thank and praise You so much. April 13, 2018 1st Place, "Contest No. 465..."
