Gifts (Oct 24)

"I tell you the truth, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."
                                      Mark 10:15 NIV

Think of how a little child receives a gift.  Children are so thankful when they receive a gift: the eyes light up, the face smiles, there is excitement and joy everywhere.  Time is spent getting acquainted with the gift and attributes of the gift are learned over, often, a short period of time. 

We daily receive the kingdom of God when we pray, spend time in devotions, read the Bible, or serve others in Christ's love.  As we receive the gift, the kingdom of God, we need to look to our children to learn how to receive the gift to see the Spiritual blessings of joy, love, peace, unity, and others.  

As we receive the kingdom of God, we should consider the attributes of God, and unselfishly share the gifts of the kingdom.

How do you react when you receive a gift?

How do you share your gifts?

Pray for the Spirit to guide you to share your gifts.

In Christ,

David P
