Every good and perfect gift

James  1:17 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.

As a believer, it is essential for us  to remember that every good thing we experience, every blessing we receive, emanates from the loving and unchanging hand of our Heavenly Father. 

In the verse above from the message of Apostle James, we are reminded to know and understand the source, the nature of the gifts, the consistency of the giver and the reason to spread the blessings to others.

1. Recognition of the source: Firstly, we are called to recognize the source of every good and perfect gift. It is not by chance or luck that we experience moments of joy, love, and abundance. It is the Father of lights, the Creator of the universe, who graciously bestows these gifts upon us. When we acknowledge God as the giver, it cultivates a heart of gratitude and humility within us.

2. Nature of the Gifts: the gifts are not fleeting pleasures. Rather, they encompass every aspect of our lives – our relationships, talents, opportunities, and even our challenges. Each gift is perfectly tailored to fulfill a divine purpose in our journey of faith.

3. Consistency of the Giver: Unlike the shifting shadows of this world, our Heavenly Father remains constant and steadfast in His love and provision. His character is unwavering, and His promises are sure. Even in times of adversity, we can take comfort in knowing that God's goodness endures forever.

4. Stewardship and Gratitude: As recipients of God's abundant blessings, we are called to be faithful stewards of His gifts. Whether great or small, we are entrusted with the responsibility to use them wisely for His glory and the betterment of others. Moreover, our hearts should overflow with gratitude for His unfailing generosity towards us.

5. Sharing the Blessings: Finally, let us not hoard God's blessings for ourselves but be eager to share them with those around us. As channels of His grace, we have the privilege to extend love, kindness, and compassion to others, thereby reflecting the character of our Heavenly Father to the world.

In conclusion, let us treasure the truth  in our hearts – that every good and perfect gift originates from God above. May this knowledge strengthen our faith, deepen our gratitude, and inspire us to live lives that honor Him in all that we do. Amen.

God bless you all.
