The Best Gift

Read: Luke 11:9-13 | Bible in a Year: Psalms 13-15; Acts 19:21-41

Seek and you will find.
Luke 11:9

When I was packing up to go home to London, my mother approached me with a giftâ€”one of her rings I had long admired. Surprised, I asked, "What's this for?" She replied, "I think you should enjoy it now. Why wait until I die? It doesn't fit me anyway." With a smile I received her unexpected gift, an early inheritance that brings me joy.

My mom gave me a material gift, but Jesus promises that His Father will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask (Luke 11:13). If parents who are marred with sin can provide necessities (such as fish or eggs) for their children, how much more will our Father in heaven give to His children. Through the gift of the Holy Spirit (John 16:13), we can experience hope, love, joy, and peace even in times of troubleâ€”and we can share these gifts with others.

Growing up, we may have had parents who were unable to love and care for us fully. Or we may have had mothers and fathers who were shining examples of sacrificial love. Or our experience may have been somewhere in between. Whatever we've known with our earthly parents, we can hold onto the promise that our heavenly Father loves us unceasingly. He gave His children the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Heavenly Father, I'm amazed at Your love for me. Help me to dwell in Your presence this day, sharing Your love with those I meet.

Our Father gives good gifts.
