However, the more I get to know the God of the Bible, I see a good God who came near to us and, from His abundant love, gives us one gracious blessing after another.

Take a few moments to reflect on these questions:
Are my eyes open to see Jesus? Are my ears open to hear His voice? Is my heart receptive to him? -
