Not being much of a shopper at all…..
When I do go…I like to get something that is
“JUST FOR”  that person….one that when they
get it,  ” they know it was bought for THEM alone ”

The other thing, that after going and shopping ….
Which is an effort for me…a push for me…
I like to see them ” use their gift “….
a. to see the joy in their eyes genuinely that they
did receive it.
b. that they use what I shopped for, for them.

just being honest……

One of my favorite sayings in my own head all the time is:
” Let the REDEEMED ~ say so ”
” LET THE REDEEMED …..say so ”

Jesus Christ stepped off His Throne and walked for
33 yrs. on this earth !   Knowing what HE wanted to
purchase…and for who !

33 yrs.  and HE went through alot in that walk.
to PURCHASE the most amazing gift….just for us.
It was an undeniable effort….
our feet are sore ?
He was gouged, spit on, beaten, mocked…….

Then, what does our FACE look like daily that we
have RECEIVED the GREATEST GIFT OF ALL TIME ?
Wrapped in RED…..
Some days we don’t even use it,
Some days we forget we even have it, set it on a shelf….
Have we told anyone ourselves what we ” got ” ?
Does our face have a ” light ” about it, a gleam in our eye ?
Do we appreciate ……” full of HIS SPIRIT, FULL of HIS GRACE
” full of HIS MERCY and LOVE …Full of HIS JOY and PEACE ,
Full of HIS WORD, the Mind of CHRIST…. FULL, USING ”

“Let the REDEEMED say so ”
Let our lives say so…..” JESUS DIED FOR ME…LOOK
what I GOT with the gift of
SALVATION ”

From :  JESUS
