SEEDS FOR HARVESTING 5/8

Rom.8:32
"How shall He not with Him give us all things."

The Living Word says
"Every perfect gift is from above,
coming down from the Father of light
with whom there is no variation, or shifting shadow."
God's greatest and most precious gift to us
is His Son, Jesus Christ.
It is only through Jesus that we can become
" the people of God," and the "children of the Light."
For all our living days
we shall never be able to measure the value of that gift.
All His love, grace and free giving,
and still more,
are woven into this His most supreme gift to us.

Therefore "giving us all things"
must not be linked to our human earthly needs.
This linking of His wonderful gift to the demands
of our human bodies and minds
immediately limits our ability
to receive what He has prepared for us.
Just simply to live another day in His grace and love
is a supreme gift in itself.
To receive joy upon joy heaped upon us
is to be convinced that this will continue to go on
until we are taken up to be with Him.

Listen to J.B.Philip's translation
"I have become absolutely convinced that
neither life nor death nor anything else in God's
whole world has any power to separate us
from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord."
