No one can receive anything unless God gives it from heaven. – John 3:27 (NLT)
THE ULTIMATE GIVER
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you believe that without God’s grace you cannot have anything?
Do you think that you have a job because you are worth something?
Are you boastful of those talents, skills and wealth that you possess?
Are you thankful for all that you own or do you continually obsess?
No one can receive anything unless God gives it from heaven
All things come from the Father who loves all his children
Be thankful because all things you have comes from Him
He wants you to enjoy all his creation and be free from sin.
Do you enjoy God’s creation? Are you thankful for each little or major things that you have in life? The world does not want to recognize the ultimate giver, the Lord God Almighty. We have a lack of gratitude for the things we receive from him. Some people claim it was their own doing that made them have such things. God is the source of all things.
No one can receive anything unless God gives it from heaven. So, why can’t we be thankful for everything we have because the bible says that we won’t receive anything, unless God gives it to us?
PRAYER
Lord, help me to remember that everything comes from you.
REFLECTION
Why is an attitude of gratitude essential to receive more blessings?
