GIFTS FROM GOD

“Every good and perfect gift is from above,
coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights,
who does not change3883 like shifting shadows.
He chose1014 to give us birth through the word of truth,
that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.”
James 1:16-18


3883 – parallagē-  transmutation (of phase or orbit), i.e. (fig.) fickleness: - variableness.

1014 – bŏulŏmai – to “will,” i.e. (refl.) be willing: - be disposed, 
minded, intend, list, (be, of own) will (-ing).

Blessings in my garden - banana peppers

Father, you are never-changing, steady and in command.
Every blessing in my life came down from Your hand.
You chose to draw me to You  through the word of truth,
That I might have eternal life and ever be with You.
Since You have adopted me to be among your daughters,
I now, through grace, have access to Your springs of living waters.
Help those springs flow through me, spill out and overflow
That I might have the privilege of helping others know
 The marvelous grace You’ve extended to each one
Who, by faith, receives the gift You provided through Your Son.
