Everyone loves receiving a good gift. Especially when it’s something that they had been hoping and asking for. A new gadget, an item of clothing, a piece of jewelry. It’s nice when we receive something special from someone we care about. Now imagine receiving a thoughtless gift. Something that blatantly says, “At least you got something.” It would probably be better to get nothing at all.

It’s as this Bible verse describes:

“Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?” Matthew 7:9

A father would fight to give the best to his child, so just imagine our Heavenly Father. If you ask Him for healing, He will give you health. Peace? He will give you rest. Prosperity? He will open the windows of heaven. Ask your Father, He is listening.

May the God of the Bible bless you!
