Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
[Jas 1:17 NKJV]
We have been ordering a lot of items to be delivered these days. Online shopping is the only way I am allowed to shop at stores due to the adornment requirement over our breathing apparatuses. Most of the time the items we order arrive in good condition, well packaged and protected. There are the times, though, when the items were definitely not packaged with care for shipment. It does make me wonder about the people who work in shipping departments. Some evidently do not think about what happens to a package as it travels to its destination – and it is likely some do not care, as that is human nature.
I’m so glad that God always cares about everything He gifts to us. Everything He sends to us is chosen with purpose, meant to show how much He loves us, and it always arrives in perfect condition at just the right time.
We never have to return gifts from God. We don’t have to worry about filing out a return form, claiming for damage, and hoping that it will be accepted and the return won’t cost us anything. God’s delivery of gifts is always flawless because He is perfect in everything He does. Every gift is free, already bought and paid for at the cross. The best part, we have His gift of eternal life with Him. No returns!
Dear Jesus,
God sent you to us as the perfect gift. You are perfect. You arrived right on time, flawless, blameless, and full of love for us. We are so grateful for everything God provides for us and gifts to us. All gifts from you are good and perfect. Thank you so much for loving us enough to give us your amazing gifts.
In Jesus Name, Amen.
