       Remember what Jesus told the Jews in his day: “Which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him” (Matthew 7:9-11, ESV). So, while we as sinners give good things to each other, and even expect good things, all the more should we expect and anticipate that God himself will give us good things—just as he already has in many ways. God wants us to believe that he will be good to us. He wants to show us his goodness. I do realize that there are some people out there who may feel left out, who may feel that they would like to benefit from these teachings, but that they don’t know God. They feel estranged from him, and they feel like that are not on good terms with him. Well, if I am describing you today, I want you to know that God wants to be in a personal relationship with you. He wants to be your God, and he wants to help you in your life.
