The three Wise Men gave Jesus gifts worthy of a king. We can also present him with our own royal gifts. While ours may not be actual gold, frankincense, and myrrh, we can still give to him the best we have.
Gold
The gift of kings, the "gold" we can offer the King of Kings is our talents and abilities. Like gold, our talents do the most good when given to others.
Frankincense
Frankincense was used as incense during worship and symbolized the prayers offered up to God. In the time of Jesus, frankincense was used by priests whose job it was to intercede for the people. Our priestly ministry can be praying daily for those who need it, especially anyone we know who is struggling and comfort.
Myrrh
A spice used to ease suffering, myrrh was a valuable gift. Mother Teresa once said, "I serve because I love Jesus." Our kindness can be our "myrrh" offered to God ---- a valuable gift.
