“This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life.
JOHN 3:16 (MSG)
“Story is told of a missionary who, after a lifetime spent serving an island community, was called back to his home country. His dear friend, a local chief, gave him a plant as a parting gift, for which he crossed the island and back on foot. The missionary was moved and perplexed: the same plant grew nearby — why travel so far? The chief replied, ‘The journey is part of the gift.'”
To learn:
1.There’s more to giving than material things, you can GIVE a helping hand, GIVE a shoulder to cry on or even GIVE someone a break.
2.Gifts needs not be EXPENSIVE to be EXPRESSIVE but the love that does not give CARD today is not likely to give CARS tomorrow.
3.Appreciate every “little” gift you don’t know the extent the giver went to get it. Always remember replied, ‘The journey is part of the gift’
To do:
Go an extra mile for someone today, GIVE a helping hand, GIVE a shoulder to cry on or even GIVE someone a break.
To pray:
Jesus thanks for taking the journey to the CROSS for me and give me grace to go A-CROSS the road for my ‘Neighbour’
