Every Good and perfect Gift

The bible says that every good and perfect gift comes down from the Father above.
Sometimes the gift is wrapped so peculiarly that we do not recognize it as something good we receive it there is a loathing that comes over our souls.
But still its a gift and God only gives gifts that are useful doesn't waste time on the trivial.
Take for instance the earthworm not very beautiful but oh so useful our gardens helps break down things in the soil and fertilizes the ground.
Its not beautiful to look at like a peacock or Cardinal but still it has its purpose.
The same is true for the rabbit that so irritates all the Farmer McGregors in the world .They are also useful for fertilizing the fields and
pruning things.They are great for pot roasting.But somehow they just don't seem as useful when they have just enjoyed your new row of peas or carrots.Or when you go out to pick the cabbage and there are bunny marks all over it.
Things that bring change may sometimes bring destruction as well.
An old dilapidated house may be a family heirloom but then it may also be
despised by the neighborhood.
So can it be with gifts from God.
The gift of the Holy Ghost is our ticket to heaven.Its the special gift purchased by the grace of Jesus Christ.The death of Jesus did not seem so wonderful to those who stood near the hillside of Golgotha that day.The beatings and abuse our Lord endured were not the image of benevolence.But on the third day when He arose from the tomb and was seen in the city and beheld by the disciples there was great joy.That gift that seemed so destructive had brought forth a miricle.
The beautiful flower has to die in order to bring forth the precious seed for the next seasons gift of glorious array.
The same with us.We have to die to self in order to live as Christ.
What seems good in the sight of man may very well be the thing that needs to be
destroyed in their hearts in order to become what God has instore.
I love this scripture.
Psalms 116:15
Precious in the sight of the Lord[is]the death of His saints.
Death in its magnitude is not pretty.In facts its one of the ugliest things in the world.Many people die a gruesome death.But to Jesus when one of His children dies it is not gruesome but precious.
Gods gifts are not all easy to look upon but all are necessary and
all are in His plan.
Be blessed and learn how to thank God in every situation and for all things.
One day we shall see Him face to face and all shall be revealed.
