The greatest gift we can give is ourselves - or something that represents who we are. Since few of us have a lot of money, ANY amount we give is often a sacrifice. Since few of us have a lot of time on our hands, ANY time we give is often a sacrifice.
But there are many among us, rich and poor alike, who are being deprived of the greatest gift of all. They know nothing of that babe in the manger, Who He was, what He did, Who He is now.
If you know Him, the greatest gift and greatest act of compassion is sharing that knowledge with someone who doesn't know. That is a gift that will keep on giving for eternity.
Giving of yourself is the greatest gift of all. God set the example in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that He GAVE his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should have everlasting life."
Merry Chrismas!
