"Without cost you have recieved, without cost you are to give" Mt 10:8

It's the second Saturday after Thanksgiving, which means that the holiday shopping season is in full swing. All the shoppers are searching for the perfect gift for all their friends and family. Why? Why does there need to be a gift given with a (usually large) monetary value? God has given us the greatest gift imaginable - and you cannot use money to buy it.

God claimed us as his own.

God is showing his love and care for us in this action. Because we were claimed, God gives us his healing, strength, & life. God also listen to all our prayers and guides us on the path that will lead us to him. All we have to do is listen and love God. God does not expect gifts of sweaters or books or lotions for Christmas, just love and devotion shown in return.

This is the gift that we should be trying to imitate this season and give to others, the gift of Love. Love costs nothing to give and Love costs nothing to receive.
