The Gift (page 128) I have heard it stated that God's love and grace to us is a gift, that's why each day is called "the present".  What is amazing is not one of us deserves it.  That is what grace is.  It all began in the Garden of Eden.  God wanted to share His creation and love with Adam and Eve.  Can you imagine walking everyday with God?  Well, one day we all can or will, if you accept His gift to us.  Yes, we must first choose.  There is no other gift that can compare.
