God gives

God’s resources are infinite. He created everything and therefore owns it all. But He is also eternally generous. He gives it all away. He didn’t want to share us with the devil, but other than that, He has freely given us all things: “stuff” He has created, His love and power, gifts of all descriptions, and the list goes on. Most of all, He has given us His Spirit and His Son, that is, He has given us of Himself, a divine mystery that we can never understand but one that we can believe and receive. God gave, God gives, God will give.

God is great. God is good.

His greatness no one can fathom!

“God is great. God is good.” I just read about a galactic structure 4 billion light years across. But God is greater than that. He inhabits infinity. God isn’t just “big.” He has power to create from nothing and to give infinite variation of shape and texture and color to what He creates. He breathes life and intelligence into parts of His creation. Absolute power corrupts us absolutely, but it does not corrupt God. This is all pretty awesome, but I see God’s true greatness in His mercy and goodness. If He were not absolutely good, we would have no hope. “He stoops down to regard the lowly,” like me. He gives the lowly favor and holds little lambs close to His heart. I am humbled by that heart.
