 Are we after the gifts or the giver

James 1:17 KJV
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

I know in my life we tend to be after what god can give us than god himself. Yeshua or Jesus means Salvation.

I know there are times in my life we are after everything else except the one who is gives gifts and knowing God more.

I have known this with me with work, wife and other things.

 Re: Are we after the gifts or the giver

Deltadom,

Thank you for bringing this up.
If it is o.k. I would like to add a little thoughts ?

How mixed up could we be in much of our thinking,..nowadays ?....Are you saying, that we tend to think selfishly,..sometimes ? I really think so.

Thoughts about when we see,... The verses,.." the love of God '

..Do we always want to think that it is: ,..His love for me the Word is talking about ,...ME ,..SELFISH WAY,..God' love for ME,...US,..

Is He not talking of OUR LOVE FOR HIM,...GOD ?

We know He loves us SO very much,..but what about our LOVE FOR HIM ?...


Is that kind of what you are saying ?

I appreciate you,
elizabeth

Yes I find I am selfish rather than wanting him
