Gifts Of God
The Ultimate Gift of God’s Grace
We are blessed.
Truly blessed by an immeasurable gift from God.
The skeptic says,
“What gift?
What has God ever done for Me?”
He has given every single one of us access to His Grace – a grace that only He can give.
How can people not see what a blessing that is?
This is life-saving, transcendent grace.
It’s the type of grace that we can’t even fully understand the magnitude of it until, as Christians, we enter into eternity to be with Jesus in Heaven.
I am sad over how easily a growing number of people will reject His offer.
Can we honestly look at the beautiful creation all around us and reduce its grandeur to an imperfect, godless theory full of holes invented by man?
The Giver of all Blessings
Because of His infinite grace, our Creator God sent His beloved Son Jesus to reach the lost here on earth.
Jesus is coming back someday, and every knee will bow.
In the meantime, we have glimpses of God’s perfection in His breathtaking creation and we celebrate the One who created it.
Thankful for the Gifts of God
A fellow Christian writer, Stephen Wong, wrote a beautiful poem “Gifts of God” I thought you might enjoy.
Evidence of God’s majesty is everywhere.
Gifts of God
by Stephen Wong
07/04/13
The gifts of God are in the green of our gardens,
the triumph of the mountains reaching
for the skies,
reflection in our awestruck eyes,
a thousand candle lights, dancing
in a night sky,
while roaring seas
rest upon their soft yellow bed.
The gifts of God are in a delicious afternoon tea,
a warm steaming beverage,
the mesmerizing smells
of chocolate sweets
drifting,
as a blanket of bread
spreads out fresh
from the oven.
The gifts of God are found in our hearts,
every kiss, every warm embrace,
every sparkle of kindness,
affection,
every costly sacrifice
says the words “I love you”.
The gifts of God we breathe in deep,
the sun smiling,
the wind greeting our faces,
sounds of dancing,
echoes of laughter announcing
we are still alive.
Then come times of great tribulations,
dark storms
tossing us off
life’s comfy sofa,
temptation
lurking at every corner,
urging us to give up
all hope.
Yet when we feel lost in misery,
weary
from daily struggles
falling down,
the tears flooding,
on our knees begging,
we should remember,
that from life’s grueling tests,
we learn invaluable lessons that are also
the gifts of God.
