James 1:17 KJVEvery 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.
