Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father… He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first fruits of all he created. James 1:17-18
God’s best and most perfect gift is Jesus himself: “All things were created through him and for him… and in him all things hold together”(Colossians 1:16-17).
For Your Consideration: If everything that comes into our lives is Father-filtered, how can we be anything less than optimistic? Our optimism is based squarely on realism.
THEREFORE: Jesus is real, atonement is real, resurrection is real, Heaven is real, and the gospel really, really is “good news!!!” Actually, the best news ever!
BOTTOM LINE: “It is a glorious thing to know that your Father God makes no mistakes in directing or permitting that which crosses the path of your life. It is the glory of God to conceal a matter. It is our glory to trust him, no matter what.” Joni Eareckson Tada
