Luke 11:11-13 (NLT)
“You fathers—if your children ask for a fish, do you give them a snake instead? Or if they ask for an egg, do you give them a scorpion? Of course not! So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.”
God gives the best gifts. I mean think about it, love, mercy, grace, and all the other blessings we receive each day mean much more than chocolate, toys, and knick knacks. But just because God's gifts are way better does not mean that we don't enjoy the ones our family and friends give us. Just that we have to realize and know that what God has in store for us is much greater than anything we could ever gain here on earth. He has the gift of heaven waiting for us. He gave the gift of His son so that we could be freely forgiven from our sins and live a refreshed life.
Know that He loves you, and that is why He gives you these gifts. And because He loves you, He won't always give you all that you ask for. He wants to lead you by His plan and way. And not everything that you always want is a part of that. He wants to give Him whole being to you, and you to give your whole being and everything in your life back to Him. He wants to work in and around your life, in your family, church, world, and heart. So just open up and let Him in. He will do amazing things for you.
Final Thought: Blessings come when you least expect them.
