For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16
The love of God is agape- which means affection, benevolence kindheartedness, generous giving, a love feast– (as in a celebration with or for loved ones).
God is so affectionate toward us that He gave us His only Son. This is His gift to us- His Son in whom He is well pleased- the One who is perfect and sinless. Our only task to receive this gift is to believe.
You can have God’s gift if you desire to have it. With the gift of Jesus Christ comes eternal life. Do you have room for all this love and goodness in your heart?

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. Luke 2:13-14

And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. Luke 2:15-16
Let someone find you with Jesus. Now you also can give the priceless gift of Jesus Christ, God's love.
