Grace for your spirit
Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. James 1:17
We ;should be thankful that we have loving Father in heaven who wants to bestow gifts on us. He loves us and those gifts are an expression of His love. As recipients of those gifts, we need to make sure we don't love the gifts more than the giver. Loving God is our focus and the gifts are a benefit of that love.. Once there were two kids with a dad that traveled a lot. Every time he came home, he brought them gifts. Soon they started hoping he would go away, so they would get more gifts on his return. Their greatest gift was their father's love, and they were missing it completely. Our greatest gift is the loving, abiding, presence of our Father. We should never hope that He would leave us alone so He would return with another gift for us. Let's love Him with all our heart, soul,, strength, and mind, and the gifts will take care of themselves
