NO RETURNS
Job 19:25
For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
The headline read...
"THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS, THE BIGGEST RETURN DAY OF THE YEAR... "
Not crazy about the stuff Santa brought you this year? You're not the only one. We live in a society today where millions of Americans can, and will, return unwanted holiday gift items today, on the day retail experts call the biggest gift return day of the year.
We've become a society of change... And not good change. If we don't like something today, we dispose of it and get something different. Our society has become spoiled and dissatisfied with even a good life. Now, exchanging a shirt or other clothing because it doesn't fit is understandable... but today we discard everything from a pair of socks to a marriage that's gotten tough... because we're dissatisfied with how it makes us feel.
As a child I remember opening gifts that I had been asking my parents to buy me for months. By mid afternoon on Christmas day I had had enough and the gift rarely came out again. There were model railroad sets and hot wheels tracks that we spent much of Christmas day on and next day they was played with a little, then put away... I wonder what ever happened to that train and track.
Well today might be the biggest return day for some. However, the gift of Christ is a gift that never runs out, never spoils, never needs returning and never stops giving. It's the gift that shouldn't be put away on December 26th and it can't be returned.
God's love didn't stop when Christ came as a baby, it goes on day after day. It is eternal.
Lamentations 3:22
The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end
Don't stop trusting, don't stop living for Christ, don't stop believing that He has a plan for a better tomorrow. Don't stop hoping... Just know that God's gift of Christ changed everything, once and for all... Trust that and keep Him close day in and day out.
