There is a gift that is free
Once we unwrap it, it's ours for all eternity.
It comforts the wounded and the broken-hearted.
It erases boundaries and causes walls to fall.
It cannot be purchased or won,
but it is offered to everyone.
It forms lasting friendships
and creates marriages that never end.
It is stronger than any glue you can find.
It holds families together through trials and tragedies.
It endures a life time.
It brings hope to the hopeless and gives strenghth to the weak.
It is the answer to unaswered questions, and the solution to
every problem.
It allows us to look into the innermost parts our being
to places that are beyond seeing.
It teaches unconditional respect and mercy.
It circumvents station, reaching down from the highest of places
to the lowest of places.
Without it we will never grow and we will never know all we need to know.
We can remain blind and allow the doors of the universe to remain locked,
but that is not how it has to be. The answers are ours to find.
They are in the singers song, and the the painters portrait. They have been
written across the pages of time in verse and line.
Listen, and you will hear the universe speaking. "Nothing is unique.
You have the answers you seek. There is no problem to solve. There
is no big mystery. I am the answer. I am the key." It goes back to the
beginning, you see. Back to the eve of our Saviour's birth. Think of
the gift he brought for you and for me. The gift is the key. Jesus is
saying, "Accept the gift, and you will be free. If you never receive
another gift, you can still be happy. Here is the key. The greatest gift
is yours for free. That gift is me."
