Gift wrapping is an art. Some people create packages so beautiful that recipients hate to tear off the paper, but many of us are slightly embarrassed by our gift-wrapping skills. Our presents suffer from jagged edges, crumpled corners, and patches of tape. As a person, how are you wrapped? John Ruskin quipped, A person all wrapped up in himself makes a very small package. If were others-centered, well be a blessing; but if were clothed in selfishness, well be of limited value to others. Writing to the Philippians, Paul said of Timothy, I have nobody else with a genuine interest in your well-being. All the others seem to be wrapped up in their own affairs and do not really care for the business of Jesus Christ. But you know how Timothy has proved his worth, working with me for the Gospel like a son with his father (Philippians 2:20-22, Phillips). When were wrapped up in our own affairs, its a sign we’re not as Spirit-filled as we should be, and were not being the blessing we could be. Lets not be like all the others. Lets be Timothys -- all wrapped up in Christ!
