God's Good Gifts!
"Thanks be to God for
His indescribable gift!"
2 Corinthians 9: 15
One thing that parents often struggle with is giving their children
gifts that not only give joy but will also last beyond a short season
in their lives. Even something worthwhile, like a book, is designed
for a specific reading level and age, so it will soon lose its value in
the life of a child.
Along with the desire to give something that will last, part of the
joy is seeing the delight of their children when they receive the
gift—and that is true of the gift God has given us as well. And
His gift is “indescribable”!
The Bible says that our Heavenly Father gives us the gift of
eternal life (Romans 6:23); gift of salvation by grace through
faith (Ephesians 2:8); and the gift of the indwelling Holy Spirit
(Acts 2:38).
James said, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from
above, and comes down from the Father of lights” (James 1:17).
Romans 4:17 says, He “gives life to the dead,” and Romans 8:11
promises life to our mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells
within us.
We serve a kind and gracious God who gives
us good gifts, and the most indescribable is
Jesus Christ Himself!
"We can bring our little vessels to the spring
and take them away filled to overflowing, and
the exceeding abundance remains."
J. H. Jowett
