How Much More

my son eating a good thing from his daddy....

marshmallows over a camp-fire!

(March 2010)

Remember this mystery, the giving?

It has deepened, grown wider and longer:

overflowing the bounds and banks,

washing fragrant over me,

until my sense returned.

God is

for me.

God is at work,

for me.

God is love,

for me.

God is here,

for me.

The ministers of his grace,

showing such unexpected sacrificial generousity,

have brought the greater gift:

Blessed (re)assurance.

Jesus is mine!

Because if these, his servants,

know how to give good gifts,

how much more does He!

If they weep with me, and pray for me,

how much more does He!

If they work and strive to bless me,

how much more does He!

If they love me,

How much more does He!

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!

Matthew 7:11
