Every Good and Perfect Thing From Above

I have shared what I have been dealing with for quite some time and I can see that God is doing some amazing things through such dark days and I am so excited! I have started a Bible study by Beth Moore called "James". I have tried to do a few studies by her before and I always get so frustrated cause I feel like I am not "Bible smart" to do her studies. At first I wasn't real keen on doing this study but thought that I would try sense it has been years. This Bible study has challenged me and I have learned so much from it! Mind you I am a huge Pracila Shirrer fan and I love her studies cause they are on my level. I have already use much that I have learn from this study and we only have completed two weeks.

James 1:17 tells us that "Everything good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting Shadows."

Beth Moore gave us a task of looking at our lives in quarters. Take your present age and divide it by 4. Then reflect on the course of your life and right down several good AND perfect gifts God has poured into our lives. From everything that I wrote down for each quarter the one thing that I came up with is: I AM LOVED!!! For a woman who for quite some time was feeling so unloved and alone no matter where I was and how packed the room was just what I needed to be reminded!

I challenge you right now to do the same and despite the rough times and different seasons of your life you too will see how much you are loved and how many gifts that God has given to you throughout the course of your life!
