God`s great Gifts.

   Today in my musing and thoughts, I was thinking about the book of James and how he talks about God`s wonderful gifts.  James writes that every perfect gift comes from the Father above.  James then gives us examples.  God gives us gifts of wisdom, love acceptance and forgiveness.  Wisdom is given so we will have wisdom in our lives to be able to discern and know the perfect will of God as Paul`s says.   Love is given so we will be able to flow in our interpersonal relationship without hindrances and bias.  We can learn to love God, ourselves and others.  Love also allows us to love in such a way that our world is change for the good..  Acceptance is a gift given so we can look at people the way God does.  God is no respecter of persons.  He knows the heart and looks at that instead of the exterior.  Forgiveness a given so we can learn to walk in freedom.  We are forgiven and so in turn we are then able through the Lord forgive those who hurt and offend us.  These are wonderful gifts and through them we can demonstrate the mercy and grace of God.  Gifts like this are given so we can communicate the character and essence of God in our world.  My exhortation to you today is to do this and be a light for Jesus.
