7 "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 9Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? 10Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? 11If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
When I look at the pictures Stephanie and I have of Kathleen and Gayle, a plethora of thoughts cross my mind; including thoughts about all of the "gifts" we hope to provide them. The list of gifts, which include things that we take for granted living in this culture, seems endless...
Yet, there is one gift that I absolutely cannot wait to share with my, Lord willing, young daughters. This gift is, simply put, priceless and eternal...
What is it? It is being able to sit with them and share the absolute truth that is found in this book:
2 Timothy 3:12-17
12Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it 15and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.
Amen, Cory!
