John 3:16 (New King James Version)
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
I am sure this is a familiar verse to all and maybe this will be a familiar thought as well, but here goes.
God Loved and God gave. Have you received?
No doubt in some gift exchange in some family or group somewhere there was an "onion" gift, you know the one with a box in a box in a box, layer after layer of paper and finally the real gift. In some cases the gift is really nice and in other cases .. well.

That's a few to get us started. Let me encourage you to take some time to think of some other gifts you've found in wrapped up in knowing Him, declare them and be thankful.Philemon 1:4-6 (New King James Version)
4 I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers, 5 hearing of your love and faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints, 6 that the sharing (communication) of your faith may become effective by the acknowledgment of every good thing which is in you (us) in Christ Jesus.SELAH
