What do you give the person who has everything?

Shortly before Christmas, a lady walked up to me in a store and asked, “What would a guy want for Christmas?” We were in the clothing section, she was looking at ties, and I was looking at running shirts. You can guess that I wasn’t much help. (When you read “clothing section”, you knew that I was useless.)
Each Christmas I find a challenge that I’m not so good at. What do you get someone who has everything? Or, how well do I know the person I am shopping for to be able to figure out what she doesn’t need, but would really like? As I said, I’m not so good at this one.
This got me to thinking about the real Christmas. John’s gospel gives us a really short Christmas story:
“This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn't go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted.” (3:16-17 MSG)
Our Father knew us so well that he gave us exactly what we needed even though we would have never have asked for it because we were too blind to see our need. You really can’t top that for giving.
What do I give back to him? My tithe? Sunday morning? (But not afternoon because that’s for soccer.) One night a week for Life Group?
After laying out all that God has done for us, Paul writes, “So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him.” Romans 12:1 MSG
I imagine that one of the great things about being God is that you don’t need anything, ever. He didn’t create me out of a need to have a submissive subject. He created me to be a recipient of his love. In return, I give him myself, something he doesn’t need, but would really like to have (go back to the quote from John to see how badly he wants me).
