Unopened Gifts

Have you ever gone to get a gift wrapped? The walls are usually lined with beautifully wrapped presents. Each package carefully put together and the ribbons are always perfectly placed. They are almost so amazing that you think why would you want to open them? It seems wasteful to open such a beautiful gift.
Opening the presents for me is usually the best part. I'm not the girl who carefully peels off the tape and gently folds the wrapping paper to re-use or maybe just remember how beautiful it once was. No, I'm the girl who gets excited and just rips the present open. I'm not looking for the most beautifully wrapped present, it is what's inside that really counts.
All those boxes on the wall are just empty. They defeat the very purpose they were created for. In this world there are so many people who are just like those boxes on the wall. From the outside they look so perfect and put together, but the truth is they are just empty. Others are just afraid to see what is inside. God has blessed each of us with amazing gifts. Do you have an unopened present?
