More things about our relationship with the Father:

            Every good thing comes from above:

James 1:17
17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.

            Have you ever received anything that was intrinsically good? How about a perfect gift? Then it must be from above. Our Father gave it to us. Of course we’re not talking about some physical present we got for Christmas. It says that with Him there is not variation or shifting shadow. He doesn’t give good things today and not so good ones tomorrow. He never changes, so the type of gifts that He gives will never change either. We can expect only the good things to come from Him.

If you could hear God speak, I believe this is what He would say:

            "I would not ever give you something bad. I only give what is good and good for you. You would not do otherwise to your children, would you? Then why do you think that I would be any different. I have many treasures to give you, but you cannot receive them at this time. When I return, I will have many surprises for you. What I have for you now is beyond your dreams; so much more will I have for you when I return.”

            21. Every good thing that is in my life comes from God. His desire for me is only good.
