Before you open your presents,
Take time to think about your year,
Consider the good times and bad,
The smiles, laughs and the tears.
Before you open your presents,
Take time to tell God your woes,
Pray for others who have wronged you
and supernatural love for those.
Before you open your presents,
Thank God for all you have,
Focus on His blessings
Ask Him to remind you of a heart glad.
Before you open your presents,
Remember the baby born in Bethlehem so many years ago,
Born so that we could rebuild our relationship
With God and Him know.
Before you open your presents,
Honour Him with worship,
Spend time with your Father in prayer
knowing you are someone who was purchased.
Before you open your presents,
Reflect on the baby grown to man,
Who died for your sins on a Cross
to fulfil God’s wonderful salvation plan.
Before you open your presents,
Acknowledge the true reason we celebrate,
Its not for the gifts, food or family, though all this is good,
It is for Jesus, the baby born as our ultimate advocate.
So before you open your presents on Christmas Day,
Remember it is His Presence in you everyday is where the true importance lays.
