Opis

In Gifts of God readers will behold Christ as the light of their lives. They will recognize his divine blessings, delight fully in the Holy Eucharist, and manifest his spiritual goodness. Believers will grow in faith, witness to others, feed the poor, heal the sick, and experience miracles. As gifts of peacemakers they will impact their communities, singing praises with thanksgiving, and adoring his mysteries. All these blessings lead to God's Heavenly Kingdom, while discovering his eternal nature, and holy dwelling place. This one-of-a-kind devotional enables enthusiasts to reflect on the grandiose nature of a loving Savior. In 16 chapters these affirmations bring believers closer to their God. These reflections will help them contemplate their Creator, his majestic creation, and identify the dangers of worshiping earthly idols. Many will savor freedom's consequences, and delight in the diverse gifts of earth, wind, water, and fire. Family members who continue to pray for God's guidance will triumph. The Holy Spirit lets them know when and how to use their talents. In all we do, we should never envy other believers who have greater gifts than us. It's wise to understand that everyone's gift is just as special and important. God continues blessing us when we are content with our gifts. These are seen as fulfilling his purposes when and wherever they are used. The Gospels assure us that we will have at least one gift through the Holy Spirit. But some people are amazingly truly gifted. We should use our abilities in the service to God by helping loved ones, friends, and families in our communities. These acts aren't necessarily easy, but may come with suffering, setbacks, and unexpected victories. Our gifts though are of different forms. Some of these are great while others small. But it's always good to remember that in the eyes of God each gift is essential. Whether big or small we ought to praise and give thanks to his precious name for them. As his ultimate reward God will grant us the greatest gift of all - eternal life, because he first loved us. Outstanding national and international figures who are blessed by being recipients of Christ's gifts, glorify his omnipotence, and embrace his everlasting love. Each chapter concludes with scriptural verses reflecting God's wonderful promises.
