“So if you, despite being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!”
— Matthew 7:11 NASB1995
🎁 The Heart Behind the Gift
Jesus brings it home: even flawed human parents know how to care for their children. So how much more should we trust the perfect goodness of our heavenly Father?
God is not stingy. He’s not absent. He’s not cruel. If we, in our imperfection, try to bless those we love—how much more does He?
🕊 Ante-Nicene Insight:
The early church saw the “good gifts” as more than material. They prized the Holy Spirit, wisdom, peace, and endurance. These were the treasures passed down through suffering, and they were counted as joys.
💭 Reflect:
- What do you truly believe about God’s heart?
- Do you trust that what He gives is truly good, even when it stretches you?
✨ Prayer:
Father, forgive my doubts. Help me believe—not just in Your power—but in Your goodness. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
