Dear Martin,
Advent is almost over and Christmas is just around the corner. This week, Gifted is all about love: With love, from God.
Think about Joseph. Life was confusing, rumours were flying, the pressure was huge. And yet, he chose love. Quiet, steady, faithful love. Not dramatic, not flashy, just showing up and doing what’s right.
That’s the gift God gives us in Jesus: love that’s close, personal, real. Emmanuel. God with us. And the good news? You are made with love, held with love and sent to share love. Not the perfect, polished version, but the everyday kind: a cup of tea for someone tired, a lift given in the rain, a 'you ok?' text that brightens a day.
This week, take a moment to say thank you to someone who’s been a gift to you. A card, a message or just the words: you matter to me. That’s how love spreads: quietly, simply, wonderfully.
