The Gift

Thanks be to God for His Gift,

[precious] beyond telling

[His indescribable, inexpressible, free Gift]!

II Corinthians 9:15 (amp)

Precious Heavenly Father,
I want to say to You, "Thank You."

Oh, I thank You for so many beautiful things that have come from Your hand alone--innumerable gifts. (Maybe I didn't see the "beauty" of some of Your gifts at first, but I did later on.)

But it all began with the one--the best You had to give. It would have been so easy to give from Your vast wealth, for "the world is Mine, and all it contains"(Psalm 50:12).

But no, You chose to give Your Son. Your only Son. This was Your first Gift. God forbid that I should be careless, that I should treat shabbily, misuse, or be ungrateful for this incredible Gift to me.

That one Gift changed my life. It has made all the difference.

So I thank You, dear God, for Jesus, Your inexpressible, indescribable Gift--too wonderful for words.
