GIFTS FROM GOD
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.”- James 1:17
There are many good things that come to us through our friends. The father toils and saves, and leaves an inheritance for his children. Many rich blessings come to us through human affections. Hands are ever being reached out to us, hands of love and kindliness, offering us good things. We owe far more than we ever can estimate, to those who love us. The kindly ministry of friends, brings countless benefits to our lives.
But everyone of these is a blessing sent to us from God. The human hands which bring them—are but the hands of messengers. This is only one of God’s ways of sending his good things to us.
James tells us also, that all that God gives us is good, and that every blessing of his is perfect. Sometimes we think that what we receive from God, cannot be good. We think he must have changed toward us. It is a loss or a disappointment, and it seems unkind. But in whatever form it comes, there is a blessing—some good is wrapped up in everything God sends to any of his children. (J. R. Miller)
We should never make the mistake of failing to thank others for their help and gifts. Neither should we ever thank others without also thanking God for them. – HDS
