During Advent the devotional series asked how you would receive the Gift. The question now is, “How will you remember it?” 

What if you passed a super magnet over human history and lifted up all the justice, love, and beauty that have been influenced by Jesus Christ? Let’s say you’d need quite a magnet and that you’d leave quite a hole in history. 

Gifts aren’t given in a vacuum. They always happen in the context of a relationship whether it’s parent and child, two best friends, or a church member and the “6-year-old girl” on an Angel Tree card. There is always a connection between giver and receiver. And there is always intention. If the intention is to bless (recall God’s call to Abraham), then we will keep giving in order to keep blessing. Call it “spiritual re-gifting.”
