Isn't it wonderful that God doesn't hold back on his goodness? The Father loves to give his children gifts. These gifts are all-encompassing. These gifts are gladly given. How do I know? Three ways:
- God has repeatedly blessed us.
- We can see what God has done to bless his people throughout the centuries.
- God's Scriptures promise this to be true.
God does not withhold from us! But what happens if we are not blameless? None of us are blameless on our own, yet in Christ, God sees us as his blameless children if we keep pursuing Jesus. As we do, the
Lord blesses us with grace upon grace (
John 1:16)
Father, thank you for the many blessings you have poured into my life. I want to list several that are on my heart today. (Make a list of things you are thankful for and share them with God as we pray.) Most of all, Father, thank you for the gift of your Son and my Savior who allows me to come before you
"holy in [your] sight, without blemish and free from accusation."* I get to come before you confidently, knowing I will receive your gracious gifts and loving promises. In Jesus' name, I rejoice as I pray to you. Amen.
