good gifts

New Beginnings

I give true Life in exchange for the old but only after the old is completely wiped out. We start with  clean ground. Then We build a new building on a solid foundation of My Love and Presence. Do not fear or despise My wrecking balls. All My gifts are good. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. 1 Corinthians 6:11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

Abide in Me

When a plant is firmly rooted in the ground, then it can receive life, but when it is cut from its root sources, even the good gifts like sunlight will cause it to wither and die. Stay connected to Us even during easy days. Keep your roots growing deeper into Our Presence and Love . . . even when the weather is pleasant. John 15:1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. 9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. 10I f you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. 11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.

Everything I put on your plate is Good

I give you fullness of life . . . a full plate that contains food of all types . . . some sweet, some salty . . . some sour, some bitter. All My food is good if received with thanksgiving. Even the bitter and sour foods have their purpose for you. How can you have compassion on those who have eaten a lot of unsavory food, if you have only eaten sweet? How will you know peace and submission and contentment in all circumstances, if you have only eaten pleasant food? How will you learn long-suffering and trust, if you have only had dessert? Unsavory food can be purifying, if eaten with thanksgiving and trust and acceptance. I bring all good gifts to the table. My ways are not your ways. Taste all I bring and you will see in the end that I Am Good. I Love you! We eat together. Deuteronomy 32:4 The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and upright is he. James 1:1-17 1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,  To the twelve tribes in the 2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. . . Phil 4-11   . . . 6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. . . Psalm 34:8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him! Ex.18:8 8 Then Moses told his father-in-law all that the Lord had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, all the hardship that had come upon them in the way, and how the Lord had delivered them. Job 42:17  And Job died, an old man, and full of days.  (full of days = ate a full plate of all the types of food)
