Commandment Giver

Think of giving or receiving the perfect gift. There is much thought that goes into picking out the perfect gift. The giver always carefully considers the receivers circumstances, wants, and needs. They want the receiver to be happy and appreciate the gift. It is a kind gesture made out of love, so the giver expects the receiver to KEEP and use the gift as intended, always expressing thanks.

As the receiver of a gift, we are to KEEP the gift and use it as it was intended. We are to show our gratitude and respect to the giver. Regifting, changing, selling, or throwing the gift away is rude and unappreciative. 

Now think of God’s commandments. He is the perfect gift giver. His commandments are gifts, given out of His perfect love for each and every one of us. We are asked to KEEP them. Not follow them. Not change them. KEEP them. Cherish them. Appreciate them. Thank Him for them. Treat them like you would a gift. God’s commandments are the best gift you will ever receive, given out of the deepest love in the universe. 

We are promised blessings as we KEEP God’s gifts.
