It may the cost that balks us.
Or maybe it is the lack of inspiration--wanting to give a gift but not really knowing what to give.
Maybe it is the time that it takes--we live rushed and busy lives and finding time to pick out just the right gift is hard.
Whatever the issue giving gifts is not always easy.
But consider this:
The gift of salvation cost God the Father His Son.
He knew what to give because He perfectly know our needs. (Now He patiently wait for us to realize our need and accept His perfect gift.)
He planned this gift from before time began and gave it at just the right time (when the fullness of time had come...)
And so our hearts are the gift that we give Him for as King David said, I will not sacrifice "to the Lord that which has cost me nothing."
And so consider greatly the gift you have been given and give like that--offering yourself up as the living sacrifice to the One who gave everything to win your heart!
