A gift given under duress is payment or tribute, not a gift at all.
A gift given freely without expectation, is the greatest gift of all.
What possibly could we make/give to the One that created everything, and owns all?
Only our Love. Because he gave it to us, it is ours to give back, to share and increase with one another.
God’s gift was not given under duress, it was given freely and with love.
God Almighty gave us freedom, eternal life.
What we give Him will never be enough, our lives or love.
He gave freely without reservation His only begotten Son, we have only our lives to give back.
We fail on so many levels every day, yet He still loves us, the retched sinner.....He loves us beyond what we deserve.
If He gave us what we deserve we would spend eternity in hell.
