I received the most precious treasure, I must confess.
With this wonderful favor, have you also been blessed?

It came from above and brings me comfort everyday.
And as with any purely perfect present, it was free, and I did nothing pay.

What is this gift of which I speak?
A clue, it’s been around since the beginning, and to some is considered, very antique.

Many however have said, things that are older are not worth as much, as some things new.
However, it’s unique value is in it’s ability to give us the power needed each day and carry us through…

Never before had I any idea what his future would bring, and I surely did not internally, completely conceive.
That all history of pain and suffering would one day be gone, also the sorrow that had made hundreds of millions grieve.

So what was the most valuable gift I ever received?
It was the truth from God, about how I could with confident faith, all his promises believe…


J.I.F.


Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

James 1:17
17 Every good gift and every perfect present is from above, coming down from the Father of the celestial lights, who does not vary or change like the shifting shadows.

Hebrews 6:18
18 in order that through two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to the refuge may have strong encouragement to take firm hold of the hope set before us.

John 5:28,29
Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice  29 and come out, those, who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.

Revelation 21:3,4
3 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them.
4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
