There is something very special about the Christmas season. Just the mention of the word can bring back memories of joy, as well as anticipation of what the upcoming Christmas will bring. Why is that, I wonder? I believe joy is not found in just the act of giving and receiving, but the purpose and result of giving and receiving.

We give because giving has a purpose. It makes life better, in some way, for another person. The result is that a need has been met, and that brings joy. We receive for the same reason, there is a purpose. We have a need, and someone else fulfills that need. The result: joy.
The Bible says in Matthew 6:19-21, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

The world is in need of a Savior. More and more each year, the West tries to remove Christ from Christmas. That is saddening, but also motivating. It is one reason why Global Infusion sends out team after team, to saturate the world with the life-giving love, power and salvation of Jesus Christ. We give of ourselves because there is a purpose. There are too many people who have not heard of Jesus, and they need to hear. We give away food, medicine and medical care, provide clothes, shoes, Bibles, build churches, and much more. These are the needs, and we do our best to meet them. Ultimately, people need Jesus, and if we can lead them to Him through these tangible means, then it is all worth it.

Souls are lost, so we must reach them. This is our purpose. Souls are won on earth, but the result is eternal life in heaven. This Christmas, realize in all the giving and receiving, the only thing you will ever see in heaven, are the souls that have been won for Jesus. That, is true treasure.
