I Want It All!

When you start thinking of what God has for us, don’t you want it all? Jesus reminded us that God is the good Father.   A superior father to us even thought we know better than to give our kids snakes when they ask for some water or rocks when they ask for bread. God the good Father has good gifts.

Unfortunately I think we all too often are willing to settle for just a bit of the gifts of God. We would like just enough to warm us on those cold spiritual days but don’t really want to get carried away or become radical or something. We are content with minor blessings because we are afraid. Not usually afraid of the gifts, but rather afraid of not receiving them. Afraid that maybe it is all just wishful thinking and that there isn’t really a God or your faith doesn’t really amount to anything. Afraid that the blessings of God are for someone else.

Well I have much better news than that. We can receive the gifts that God has already given us! They are incredible gifts and represent the ultimate blessing from a Father who loves us deeply. For the next couple of weeks I am going to be talking about those blessings we already have and how we can, in our walk with Jesus Christ, realize them in a greater way.

Come and experience the blessings of God!

See you at church.
