OVERWHELMED WITH HIS GOODNESS

Romans 8:32 NLT Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else?

I have a friend who is such a generous person and she has just given me a lovely leather bound, hand made journal! Her heart is bursting with wanting to give you lovely things, because it’s just who she is. She demonstrates the heart of God because He also is overwhelmingly generous to each of His children, to you and me.😊

So often society, and even some churches, have portrayed God as mean and stingy, waiting to pounce on us when we do wrong. Thankfully, when we read the gospels, we discover Jesus portraying His Father whose heart is to restore the broken hearted, to heal the sick and provide even the money for a tax bill! Jesus shows us the generous, caring heart of God.

Even when life’s experiences are tough, even when we make mistakes, we can still know God’s love for us has never changed, never wavered for a second. God is fully committed to us and the shed blood of Jesus proves it beyond a shadow of a doubt.

So keep looking to Jesus, to the One who gave us His all, and remember if God gave His only Son will He not also give us all things, even the ability to endure the hard things?

You see, our God is wanting to overwhelm each one of us with His goodness and generosity but are we receiving it? James 1:17 reminds us that every good gift comes down from God! Do you need some good things at the minute? Do you need breakthroughs in your circumstances? Then call on the God of the breakthrough and ask for His help, in expectant faith, knowing He wants to overwhelm you in the coming days with His goodness and His generosity. 

And in case you think you don’t deserve it, just remember none of us do, but it’s called the grace of God for which we can all be truly thankful as this week unfolds.😊 

Thank You Jesus. Amen.
