The Perfect Gift

How would you treat a gift from God?

You've been given gifts before but it's always hit and miss, maybe it didn't fit, wasn't the right colour, or maybe it had no real use for you?

Can you imagine the perfect gift, everything you've ever wanted all in one special gift! I can see it now, I would use it everyday! Everyone would want it because it's so rare! I would keep it in a safe place where it can't get damaged!

But no one really knows you well enough to find this gift? It can seem somewhat unattainable? You would have to go out there and buy it yourself..And then it wouldn't really be the perfect gift..

And I guess with the other gifts, you should just be grateful someone made the effort right?

Where would someone even get this perfect gift for you anyway?

Imagine having a huge teddy bear you can hug and love? Tell your secrets to? But if only it was real..and you've outgrown that now anyway 

Ok so

Imagine the perfect shoes? You would show them off but you will eventually get bored and want a new pair right? 

Plus you can find shoes anywhere..anyone could have the same pair. 

Alright

So How about, the perfect friend? 

you could have the most fun with them all the time and they would never judge you? 

But then you still need someone to hold at night..?

What about the perfect partner?

Well that would be amazing! But..Nah, I've had my heart broken too many times, the perfect partner? that's like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

So you give up and settle for what you think you deserve? 

After all, you should just be grateful someone even made the effort right?

Well..

Can you imagine being so incredibly and unconditionally loved, that someone believes you deserve to have the perfect gift?

Have you forgotten you are a gift from God in your own right?

God believes you deserve everything your heart truly desires, and he knows EXACTLY what makes you happy. 

So imagine God took all of the things he knows you love and deserve and he created the perfect gift for you? 

The right colour, Size and fit? Someone to hug and tell all your secrets to? Someone you can show off? Someone you can have fun with and would never judge you? keep you warm at night? Accepts your imperfections? Supports you, cherishes you? 

Where would he even find that you wonder.. Does that even exist?

God knows exactly who he has for you, he has spent years and years moulding them to become the perfect partner for you.

What's more funny is they don't even know that what they are going through is just preparing them for when they find you! All the mistakes and heartbreaks,

You walk around with your shattered half 💔 like a piece to a puzzle and when you finally find the other half you want to glue it and hold it together so it doesn't break again, ❤️ that superglue is God. 

"So they are no longer two but one flesh, Therefore what God has joined together, let no one seperate". 

Matthew 19:6

Can you imagine someone specifically designed to become YOUR other half? All the love God has for you wrapped up in a gift? No wonder it takes so long for the delivery!

So tell me..

Once the package has arrived,

How would you treat your gift from God?
