"Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." Acts 2: 38
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control." Galatians 5: 22 & 23
What gift are you most expecting to receive this Christmas? Can you recall what you got last Christmas? Or maybe, five Christmasses ago? Chances are, that gift has been used, loaned, consumed or forgotten.
God gives a gift that keeps on giving: his Holy Spirit. The recipient automatically becomes one of the best gift-givers as the fruit of the Spirit exudes from that personality. Who could not use more love? Joy and peace are not just words on a Christmas card, they are daily gifts we're given all year 'round. Don't hold on to them though! They are meant to be shared.
My prayer for you is that you would accept God's free gift of salvation by acknowledging your need of a Savior and inviting Jesus to come into your heart. Then you will have the gift you will never forget; the gift that keeps on giving!
