JESUS, OUR EVERYTHING He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all--how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? (Romans 8:32) My dear beloved, The Bible reveals, “Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:12). When we believe in the Lord and accept Him as our personal Saviour, He grants us the privilege of becoming His children. If we are His children, then we are the heirs of God (Romans 8:17). Don’t we give all that we have to our children? Whatever they ask, we give it to them. Even if we do not have something, somehow we get it for our children. It is our desire that our children should eat well, be in good health and always be happy. Generally, mothers would even give the food that they eat to their children. They want their children to eat well and be happy in this world. When a worldly mother can be so liberal, how much more our Heavenly Father shall give to us. He gives us everything for us to enjoy and be happy in this world. Please do not have any negative feeling during this Christmas. Instead, you must have a positive feeling that God will give everything to you. It is very certain that He who gave His only begotten Son for you, will give everything for you. When you believe in this and ask Him, He shall give all that you ask. Once a person saved a lot of money in order to go on a long voyage in a ship. He used to spend money very carefully. With the money he saved, he got ready to travel in a ship for nearly 10 days. So he packed his suitcase with all kinds of fruits, nuts, ghee, biscuits etc. Thinking that he may have to spend a lot of money to buy food in the ship, he packed his box with enough food stuff to last for 10 days. His journey in the ship began. Everyday, he would eat nuts for his breakfast, fruits for his lunch and biscuits for his dinner. Finally on the 10th day, his ship was nearing the shore. He felt very hungry. Since he did not eat to his satisfaction all these days, he wanted to eat something good. As he was lying on his bed contemplating food, he could feel a delicious smell of cooking from the neighboring room. He got up and went straight to the reception hall and asked the receptionist as to how much he has to pay for a meal. The receptionist asked him to show his journey ticket. The receptionist was amazed to see the ticket. He said, “Sir, you have already paid for your food for all the ten days in your ticket. You could have shown this ticket and eaten all your meals in the ship freely. Why didn’t you come all these days? Ok, come with me to the dining hall.” Saying this, the receptionist took him to the dining hall and served him a variety of food. In the same way, we too have Lord Jesus very close to us but still lament that we do not have anything. He can give us everything. We read in the Bible that the Almighty God did not even spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all. So He will surely give us everything (Romans 8:32). During this festive season, let us cling on to the Lord. He has all the treasures with Him and will certainly give everything to us. Prayer: Loving Lord Jesus, You are the abundant giver. You delight in granting everything to your children. You have given me the privilege of becoming your child. You gave your life for all mankind. Lord, remember how I have walked before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion. Reward me for my deeds. Shower me with all your blessings. In Your matchless name I pray, Amen.
