Let us give thanks to God for every opportunity we get to serve others, especially within our family in Christ: the Church.
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.
James 1:17, ESV
Good wants us to bring heaven to earth, and He gives us blessings and gifts to accomplish this mission (not for ourselves).
And He doesn’t change.
