Matthew 7:9-12

"Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 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! So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

It should be very comforting and reassuring for you to know that there is a loving Father in heaven who is glad to give good gifts to you! You shall not worry about your daily needs. It is like my children when they go shopping with me, they don't need to bring much money with them. Every time when they see something they want to buy, they say, "Dad, I want this!" As a father, although I am not very wealthy, I always try my best to buy what they want. When we ask God, won't He give us even better?

We are far from perfectly. And yet we know to give good gifts to our children. Won't our heavenly Father give us even better gifts? When you have such faith, you can surely come to God and ask with freedom and confidence. Although sometimes the way God works is different than what we thought, His ways are always higher than our ways, and His thoughts are always higher than our thoughts. When we come to God to lean on Him, we should surely know that at this moment, He will personally give us the good gifts according to His wonderful will.

Do you live in worries? Do you have many burdens in life that are difficult to put down? Just ask for God's help! Bring your heavy burdens and worries to God. Believe that He is the Heavenly Father, and He will provide you with everything you need
