| The Gift of Love| Matthew 1:21 |
“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.”— Matthew 1:21 (KJV)
Devotional Reflection:
Long before there was a star in the sky or a song in the air, there was a promise — whispered through prophets and written in eternity — that love Himself would come down to dwell among us.
Not the kind of love that fades when seasons change, but the kind that saves, redeems, and restores.
When Mary held the newborn Jesus, she wasn’t just cradling a child — she was holding the Gift of Love wrapped in humanity.
God didn’t send a warrior to conquer the world by force.
He sent a Savior to conquer hearts through mercy.
This Christmas, the message still rings true:
Love came near.
Love took on flesh.
Love had a name — Jesus.
So wherever you find yourself this season — in celebration, in stillness, or even in struggle — remember that the greatest gift has already been given.
And it was given for you.
Reflection Questions:
- How has God’s love made itself known to you this year?
- What does it mean to you that Jesus came to save, not to condemn?
- How can you extend that same love to someone in need this season?
Daily Wisdom Insight:
True love doesn’t wait for perfection — it reaches into brokenness and calls it redeemed.
Prayer:
Lord,
Thank You for the greatest gift ever given — Your Son, Jesus.
In a world searching for meaning, let us find our hope in Him.
Remind us that love is more than words — it is sacrifice, it is grace,
and it is You.
May Your presence fill our hearts, our homes,
and this holiday season with peace that never ends.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
