Jesus' gift

As I sit here, wishing my fiancé was sitting next to me, I remember what a gift it is to actually have him in my life. 

I am so grateful that he has only been gone 4 weeks, and that he will be in my arms at Christmas time. 

I am so grateful that we have each other, and that I'm no longer wishing and waiting for that special guy to come along. 

I feel so blessed to have everything I need and want this Christmas. 

I have a wonderful family that loves me, an amazing fiancé who can't wait to marry me, his amazing family who also loves me, and so many friends who mean so much to me.

I just need to stop for a minute.

Pause my life for a minute and thank God for this. 

He has done so many good things in my life, and no matter what I do to wrong Him, He still loves me more than any of my family or friends, and even more than Mike does. 

He loves me.

I was reading a devotional this morning about Jesus giving God the Father the most amazing gift. Jesus made it possible for us to be a holy and blameless present to God when He died on the cross. So not only do I need to be thankful, I need to be the best present that I can be for God. To really be holy and blameless. To try my best to live the way God wants me to live.

He's done so much for me... I can do this for Him right? At Christmas time?

I'll just have to keep praying that God will help me to be blameless towards Him.
