You may be wondering exactly what the perfect gift is. An even better question is who is the perfect gift and the answer of course, would be Jesus Christ! Our Heavenly Father loves us so much that He gave His only begotten Son so that the entire world would have an opportunity to receive eternal life (see John 3:16).
Jesus holds the ultimate significance in the lives of believers. If it had not been for His selfless sacrifice we would still be lost today.
Our Heavenly Father made each of us specifically the way He wanted to with our own distinct features, personalities, talents, and gifts. We are priceless treasures to Him. Just as He gave Jesus as a gift to the world we can also look at ourselves as gifts that the Lord has allowed to be on this earth. Talk about being highly favored!
“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”
Psalm 139:14 NIV
Anytime, you’re in someone’s presence whether they realize it or not they are in the company of one of God’s treasured gifts. When you look in the mirror remind yourself that you are a gift designed by God! During your time of prayer tell the Lord that you are grateful for being fearfully made by His own perfect hand. Also, thank Him for the wonderful things that He has placed inside you, making you the unique individual that you are. Realize that all of the good things that God has placed within you are perfect gifts that can help someone who may need to be encouraged, motivated, or strengthened. You do play an important role in the lives of others.
