“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.”James 1:17 NIV
The real gifts of life come in moments, not in boxes.
They are the smiles of genuine friends, the tears of precious ones,
the laughter shared and the hugs received.
They are the moments of courage that push you forward and the moments of risk that change your life.
They are the mundane quiet moments with God as well as the powerful, anointed ones.
And the very best moment of all is the moment that you know Jesus not as the babe in the manger but as the Savior on the cross. It is the moment that changes your eternity and opens up all of heaven to you. It is the moment you accept Christ’s gift of salvation.
Jesus is the good and perfect gift sent to us from God.
As you experience all kinds of moments today with friends and family, may the good and perfect gift from heaven fill your heart with unspeakable joy and absolute peace.
Lord Jesus, help me to pause in all the moments You have graciously given me and say Thanks. Amen
