“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life"
John 3:16 NKJV
Written 12/8/94
Every time I pick up Courtney from school or go to the store she asks, "Did you get me something?" If I didn't she whines, cries or "puckers up"! I try to remind her of all the things she has gotten in the past (even as recent as earlier that day) and at this particular time, Christmas is just a few weeks away and she can't even imagine all that is in store for her!
Aren't we this way with God? We always want to know what He's going to do for us, "Did He get us something?" We need to stop and remember all the things He has given us in the past; the time we prayed for our child and they got well, almost immediately, the direction He pointed our life in, our homes, our food, our jobs! But especially remember He gave us Jesus!
And don't forget what's just around the corner. When we go to be with Jesus, we can't even imagine what's in store for us! So stop asking God -- "Did you get me something?" HE DID!
