“Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of lights [the Creator and Sustainer of the heavens], in whom there is no variation [no rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning [for He is perfect and never changes].” James 1:17 AMP
REFLECTION
Let’s pause and ponder the perfection of our one and only perfect Papa.
Perfect faithfulness. Perfect goodness. Perfect understanding. Perfect love. Perfect everything. And only Jesus’ perfect sacrifice on the cross can cleanse us from all unrighteousness and give us access to our perfect Papa. And in His perfect wisdom, He gave us — His beloved handiwork — free will. We can choose to accept the greatest Gift ever given — Jesus Christ — or not. We can choose an eternity in Heaven or Hell. What a sobering thought.
For those who are seeking the truth, I encourage you to ask the perfect One who made you to lead you into all truth. And I pray that this link is helpful: https://www.ficm.org/ministry-materials/free-resources/
For those of us who love and are committed to following Jesus Christ, let’s continually choose to stay close to Him and trust His perfect higher way and timing, as we prepare for eternity.
PRAYER POEM
LORD, thank You for making it possible for me to know and love You, and receive the glorious gifts You give, as I seek to live in sync with You, my Redeemer, now and forever.
