00:00:04.719 --> 00:00:12.800
<v SPEAKER_00>Thank you for joining us today as we take a few moments to shift our focus and dwell on Jesus.

00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:17.199
<v SPEAKER_00>What is the best gift that you have ever received?

00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:19.920
<v SPEAKER_00>What emotions did it bring?

00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:25.359
<v SPEAKER_00>Try and envision that moment and allow those feelings to come with it.

00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:30.079
<v SPEAKER_00>The Bible declares that God is the best gift giver.

00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:36.079
<v SPEAKER_00>Imagine how much more He has for you than even that fond memory.

00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:42.240
<v SPEAKER_00>Everything good in our lives flows from the heart of a good father.

00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:48.799
<v SPEAKER_00>His generosity is constant and his character never changes.

00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:59.600
<v SPEAKER_00>James 1.17 reminds us, every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father.

00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:09.840
<v SPEAKER_00>Take a few seconds to thank God for the good gifts in your life, both the ones you notice and the ones you may take for granted.

00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:28.400
<v SPEAKER_00>Maybe a specific person or group of people, a loved one or an acquaintance.

00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:32.479
<v SPEAKER_00>Pray for someone in need of God's provision today.

00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.159
<v SPEAKER_00>Ask Him to bless them generously.

00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:14.479
<v SPEAKER_00>We receive them with grateful hearts.

00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:15.840
<v SPEAKER_00>Amen.
