A PERFECT GIFT

For every occasion, there is a reason for celebration

For every celebration, there is special gift attached to it

The one year old baby girl wants her first doll

The five year old boy wants his first ball

The eighteen year old boy wants his first three piece suit

The twenty one year old girl wants her first dinner gown

The twenty five year old first class graduate wants his first car keys

The twenty five year old bride wants her first kitchen set

The fifty year old mum, wants her first real overseas vacation

The seventy year old man wants to seat in his own home with his grandkids

The hundred year old dead heroine wants to be remembered by all for her servitude

Whether its valentine, Marriage, Birthdays, Anniversaries, launchings and munchngs

There is a gift for all occasions under the sun

Even Christmas, demands something really special….

So God, says its Christmas…What do I give the earth

For all that inhibit it therein are all mine to love…

God’s gift like himself had to be exquisite, wonderful and PERFECT

BUT…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

What makes a gift Perfect….

The perfect Gift has to be valuable

Something when seen or held makes the receiver special

The Perfect gift has to be appropriate

Something that fits the occasion and lubricates the relationship

The Perfect Gift should be selfless

Something that doesn’t anticipate a return

The perfect Gift has to be Evocative

Something that moves the receiver to give an emotional response

The Perfect Gift should have landed from the skies

But the perfect gift came in the womb of a virgin

The Perfect Gift should have come to or through a King or Royalty

But the perfect gift came as the son of a carpenter

The Perfect Gift should have been wrapped with the best of posh materials

But the perfect came in wrapped in swaddling clothes

The perfect Gift should have come with a special delivery entrounge

But the perfect Gift came escorted by shepherds and herdsmen

The perfect gift was born in a manger, sent to give hope and life to strangers

The Perfect Gift has eyes to see all our fears and worries

The perfect Gift has ears to hear our deepest groaning of prayer

The perfect gift has hands to comfort us in our troubles

The Perfect Gift had feet come meet us when we worship

His name is so special, each letter so symbolic

Every thought of him makes you feel like Silk

His name is J- Jehovah , the Almighty one

His name is E- Emmanuel, He’s always with us

His name is S, Shallom, Our very own Peace

His name is U….I’ll come back to U

His name is S, Savior of all mankind

And yes I did not forget about U..Yes You

For without U, we cannot spell Jesus

For U he was born, he was bruised,

He was killed, he died, He Rose, and He lives

For Without HIM, we are absolutely nothing….

I meant to say I am nothing without Him

I am like a king without a crown

who has no palace or subjects, and his face has a frown

I am like a soldier without ammunition

Who has no gun or commander,

And helpless in war before any nation

I am like a lion without its teeth

who has no mane or roar, and the youngest zebras mock at its feet

I am nothing, like the eagle without its wing

like the slender wasp without its sting

I am like a tree without its leaves and branches

who has no life, and reduced to a stick in the harmattan

I am like a bird without a nest

condemned to endless wandering all the days of its life.

I am like a doctor without his stethoscope

all his operations are void and with no hope

I am like a chair with no legs

I tumble down at the slightest touch of a finger

I am like a building without a foundation

like a river with no direction

like a country without a constitution

a man eat man society

Where lawlessness and immorality is rife

I am nothing without the gift that’s describe in just one WORD……PERFECT

The Perfect Gift is the Love of a Father,

Expressed by a Son on the Cross

And Manifested to all men on Christmas day

in the form of a baby… And

HIS NAME IS ……..JESUS
