"Wrapping Paper"
Have you ever paid attention to the attributes of wrapping paper? Wrapping paper is often used to decorate, enhance, cover, and conceal a gift. Have you ever noticed that wrapping paper itself (regardless of how decorative) has very little significance? For instance, if I purchase two identical pairs of socks then package one pair in Tiffany wrapping paper and the other pair in dollar store wrapping paper, the value of the socks still remains the same. Ultimately it's the gift inside the wrapping paper that is significant.
People have various forms of wrapping paper as well. What does your wrapping paper conceal? Do you think that your gift is more precious because of your choice of wrapping paper? Sometimes we mask our gifts behind insignificant items that we feel make them more valuable. Some folk barricade themselves behind fancy wrapping paper to hide the fact that they lack substance. Decorative wrapping paper (i.e. cars, houses, and various other material possessions) do not enhance your God given gift. It's only a matter of time before you'll be forced to rely on what's inside the fancy packaging. So, today let your gift be more substantial than the paper it's wrapped in. Be blessed.
