I like to get a gift. I think most people do.
But do you like all gifts? NO!!!
Your gift will fail to say “I love you” under the following conditions.
1) When your body language says “You had better appreciate this gift”.
2) When you are too proud to add “I am sorry” in words to a gift that you give after hurting your spouse.
3) When the gift is too expensive for your family budget to accommodate.
4) When you want something in return for your gift.
5) When you choose to live in disobedience to the Holy Spirit. Instead of doing what God wants you to do or say to your spouse, you buy a gift instead.
6) When you refuse to give the more important gift of investing in yourself.
7) When you are trying to use the gift to connect with your spouse. Gifts ride on top of connection and not the other way around.
I hope you get the idea.
Blessings
