God has given to us the gift of life. He created us and offers to us so many wonderful and beautiful gifts.
Here is just a partial list of the truly countless gifts God has given:
- Relationships
- Senses (taste, smell, touch, hear)
- Emotions (joy, peace, love)
- Creation
- Experiences
And on top of this, we were created in His likeness and image, which means we have been given the capacity to create and relate and love.
What God has created is beautiful and the gifts He has given are astounding!
And yet, far too often we find ourselves moaning and complaining while missing the very gifts of beauty and goodness that He has prepared for us.
May we stop today, take a look at all that God has given and continues to offer to those He loves (all of us!!). Then let us thankfully and humbly draw near to Him, receive from Him and walk with Him, entering into His joy and happiness!
