Christmas Cheer

This morning I found Christmas presents under the tree waiting to be unwrapped. Theses gifts were bought in department stores during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. What is this world coming to? But the truest and best gift cannot be wrapped up but is in our hearts.

Anyway, I just recently opened the Daily Sportman Devotional for yesterday and was amazed and entralled by the selected passage about Love and sacrifice.
_____________________

1 John 4:7-11

Dear friends, let us love one another, because love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love. God's love was revealed among us in this way: God sent His One and Only Son into the world so that we might live through Him. Love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Dear friends, if God loved us in this way, we also must love one another. (NASB)
