Good Gifts From The Father Of Light

Jam. 1:17-18

Light is good and also has good effects. One of the very many blessings we stand to gain as children of God is that we have access to good gifts, not only good but perfect. All that we can have around in the world are short-lived with expiry dates and some with side effects. Medicines developed by medical science are good. They have been of great benefits to mankind but they are not perfect as they may work for sometimes but later with series of stories like resistance, inadequate dosage etc. Apart from their efficacy, the amount spent on getting them is sometimes exorbitant.  Everything good also comes from above and not from abroad. They are genuine and not fake, no side effects and are just free.  By our connection to God the Father of light, our lives are lightened and open to good and perfect gifts.

POINT OF EMPHASIS: By our connection to God the Father of light, our lives are enlightened.

PRAYER POINT: God, help me to keep to the source of light from which my life is lightened.
