Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
James 1:17
When Daddy comes home it's an event. Our daughter, Emily will run to the door to greet him, or occasionally hide hoping her daddy will come and find her. Whenever they greet, it usually involves him picking her up, and tickles and kisses. Now daddy's work shirts have a pocket on the left side and while he is holding her, Emily often loves to dig her hands in his shirt pocket to see what is in there. Usually it's nails, or screws, or little things he has used during the day at work. One day while playing around the house with Emily, she noticed a handful of nuts and bolts that he had taken out of his shirt pocket and left on the piano. She pointed to them and said simply, and with excitement, "Daddy!" See she knew when she saw that handful of nuts and bolts that they belonged to her daddy. And it was like a ray of sunshine in her day, as evidence by the excitement in her voice when she pointed them out to me. It was if she was thinking "I know where those came from, they belong to my daddy!" And just thinking about him made her happy. As I began to think about this seemingly small event I began to think about my relationship with my Heavenly Father. There are times in my day when something will catch my attention and I know that it's evidence of Him in my life. Have there been times in your life when you can see God's fingerprints? Something He has left behind? An evidence of His involvement in you? Now first you must be able to claim a relationship with Him, you must be able to claim Him as your Heavenly Father, the adoption as His child through the salvation of Jesus Christ. I hope that if you can't you will chose to. And for those that do belong to Him, can you see evidence of Him in your life?
