So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him? Matthew 7:11
I woke up in some state recently – it was a travel week, where the days and states sort of run together with no great distinction – in great need (want) of coffee. It was early… the coffee was almost ready. So, I reached for a mug, grabbed the one with horses on it that Mill got as a gift a while back, and the passing thought ran through my mind, “I would love to have a new coffee mug of my own.” Then I shrugged off the idea and sat down to enjoy my cup of coffee. The end.
A couple of weeks later and a couple of gallons of coffee later, we found ourselves at a little church in New Mexico. It was Father’s Day, so, as in many churches around the country, there were special gifts for all the men. At this church the gift was a coffee mug. So I watched as Jeff received a cool new coffee mug, thinking to myself that I was going to enjoy that mug even more than my husband.
But – this was really cool! Not only were there mugs for the guys, there was one for me, too! And not some left-over manly Father’s Day gift. It was the perfect “I don’t do mornings” kind of coffee mug – like it had been picked out especially for me by someone who knew me well.
It had! It had been picked out special for me by my heavenly Father who heard my wishful thinking early one morning. It wasn’t even a prayer – just a passing thought of “wouldn’t it be nice…”
If my Father heard that, how much more does He hear when I cry out to him in prayer!
God really loves me!
That's not just a thought, that's an incredible thought!
