If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask Him! - Matthew 7:11
My kitties. We’ve had them
for several months now. I bought some toys for them to play with when we first
adopted them. They weren’t really interested. A month or so later I saw
something else that might be fun for them. It wasn’t. They even ignored the
catnip mouse. What do they like? The milk ring from the jug. All these nice
toys available to them and they are content with a cheap little milk ring.
Reminds me of babies and
toddlers. They too, seem to be more fascinated with the wrapping and the box
instead of the really nice gift inside. Frustrating, isn’t it?
Which made me think about the
gifts of God that He sends to us. But we are more focused on some lesser thing
we stumbled upon ourselves. Can you imagine something bigger, better, more
wonderful within your reach, and you are so intent on something else, you miss
out?
Don’t be like my kitties or
like that toddler. Let your life be more beautiful by the gifts of God and not
that of your own design.
