good gifts to children


"If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
Luke 11:13

By giving us the Holy Spirit to reside in us and beside us at all times, God has given us the best gift... Himself. But God gives all of Himself. He sent His Son to be our salvation. Jesus gave His life for us. The Holy Spirit is now with us. God the Father is always caring for us. How much more does God have to do to show He loves us? He gives us more than we can imagine at every turn. And God does this to people who were sinners when He provided all this.

This leads to worship, and a Paul Baloche worship song captures this wonder about Jesus.

"You Gave Your Life Away"

You spoke and worlds were formed
You breathed and life was born
You knew that one day You would come

So far from Heaven's throne
Clothed in human form
You showed the world the Father's love

You gave You gave Your life away
You gave You gave Your life away
You gave You gave Your life away for me

Your grace has broken every chain
My sins are gone my debt's been paid
You gave You gave Your life away for me

You lived a sinless life
Yet You were crucified
You bought our freedom on the cross

Forsaken for our sin
You died and rose again
Jesus You are the Lamb of God

You gave You gave Your life away
You gave You gave Your life away
You gave You gave Your life away for me

Your grace has broken every chain
My sins are gone my debt's been paid
You gave You gave Your life away for me

How glorious is Your love
If I could sing forever it's not enough
How glorious is Your love
If I could sing forever it's not enough

You gave You gave Your life away
You gave You gave Your life away
You gave You gave Your life away for me

Your grace has broken every chain
My sins are gone my debt's been paid
You gave You gave Your life away for me
