Matthew 7:11
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in Heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Both of my Fathers are in heaven. My earthly Father was a picture of my Heavenly Father. Though he was "evil" in the sense that he lived in a cursed world in a body of sinful flesh, he knew how to give good gifts to his children. I never knew how much my earthly Father gave to us, until I looked at each of his children.
To one he gave his practical common sense and steadfastness,
To one he gave his creativity and spontaneity,
To one he gave his diligence and kind heart,
To one he gave his strength to bear all burdens and his humor,
To one he gave his logic and emotion - [odd combination, but true].
To one he gave his faithfulness and long-suffering,
But to all of us he gave his love and laugh, his mind and heart, his strong back and working hands, his desire to honor his Heavenly Father in all things, and his caring thoughts and prayerful concern.
In all things he has been what he could be as an example of our Heavenly Father, especially in showing each of his children how they can live in heaven forever with their Father.
Thanks Dad, your the best!
The timeless theme, earth and
heaven will pass away. It's not a
dream, God will make all things
new that day. Gone is the curse
from which I stumbled and fell.
Evil is banished to eternal hell.
No more night. No more pain.
No more tears. Never crying
again. And praises to the great "I
AM." We will live in the light of
the risen Lamb.
See all around, now the nations
bow down to sing. The only
sound is the praises to Christ,
our King. Slowly the names from
the book are read. I know the
King, so there's no need to dread.
See over there, there's a mansion,
oh that's prepared just for me,
where I will live with my savior
eternally.
No more night. No more pain.
No more tears. Never crying
again. And praises to the great "I
AM." We will live in the light of
the risen Lamb.
All praises to the great "I AM."
We're gonna live in the light of
the risen Lamb.
