What do we give a King? What could I bring that would be worth anything to Jesus? We
can’t buy or work our way in. The price that was paid has already been
done. We are worth everything to our Savior, Jesus Christ!
Do
you feel your worth? I pray you do, and stop your searching. I know
you’ve heard this song every Christmas.. “Oh Holy night” I want to ask
you, have you experienced it yet, deep in your heart and soul? Well
there is a few verses I want to point out to you, and really think about (Selah).
Have you fallen on your knees… have you heard the angel voices… have you experienced that night so divine? Now think about this next verse…
“Till He appeared, and the Soul Felt It's Worth!” That’s where it’s all
at! Jesus, and only Jesus, is your answer to all you are worth. What
more could He do. He came for us, and died for us. It’s not as deep as
people try to make it. Don’t you want to bring Him all of you? That is
the gift He is waiting for.
So go ahead, send up a prayer, and ask Jesus….
“Oh Lamb of God, Oh Prince of Peace, what do I have to offer thee?”
He
will answer you, and you will see, the most precious gift to Jesus is
your heart. I know “The Little Drummer Boy” is just a story, and a song,
but you gotta love it. To me it represents that we all have nothing to
bring, and we are all poor boys too. So when we go forward, like the
little drummer boy to see our Savior, all we can bring is the beat of
our desperate hearts… “Pa, rum, pum, pum, pum.”
Some
years ago I gave all I could give to my Savior, and that was my heart.
It’s all He ever wanted. Not my perfection, or thinking I could do
anything to gain His love. He wanted my heart, so He could show me what
it is to live not under conditions, "we have been released from the law..." (Romans 7:6).
Under Grace freely given to all.
Under Grace freely given to all.
So
wrap up all your old self in your heart, and give it to Jesus. He will
free you to serve out of love and gratitude for all He’s done. This is
living “in the new way of the Spirit.”
Don’t
try to reach God by keeping a set of rules. Jesus came to us to make
our way to God. If you spend time with Jesus every day, you can’t help
but become more, and more, like Him. He will show you, and turn you away
from your own performance, to put your faith in Him, and His sacrifice
for us.
God’s love for us is not
conditional. Until you stop living to try and get God’s approval, you
are not truly living under grace, "For it is by grace you have been saved..." (Ephesians 2:8).
So take hold of Jesus and live. We really have nothing to offer Jesus, but ourselves.
“Oh come let us adore Him.” May Jesus become the music to your heart all year through.
