The One Thing

Whatever is good and perfect comes down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens.

He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.

—James 1:17 (NLT)

Every good thing in your life comes from Me. Your home, your favorite things, the people who love you—they are My gifts to you. And though I have given you many pleasures and many things, not one of them is really necessary. Only one thing is truly necessary—having Me in your life.

Before you knew Me as your Savior, you thought your hopes and dreams could be met by things of this world. But now you know better: I am the One who fulfills your dreams. I do want you to enjoy the gifts that I give you. But remember to thank Me—the Giver of all good things. And don’t start thinking that you have to have these gifts.

Cling to Me, not My gifts. Trust Me to make you complete. The one thing that you alwaysneed is the one thing you can never lose— My Presence with you.

Psalm 62:5–8; Revelation 1:8; 1 Peter 2:9

Love,

Jesus
