A Giving Father

There are some things in life you ask for in the deep, secret places of your heart- in your purest thoughts, that you so quickly dismiss- those things that the innocent, childlike voice inside wishes for in a quiet whisper as the father listens. I find in my life, those are the desires He fulfills through my delighting in Him and in the gifts He gives me.

"Take delight in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart."--Psalm 37:4

"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." James 1:17


"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!" Matt 7:11


 "For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened."
“Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?-- Matt 7:8-10
