Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
James 1:17, CSB
Life is hard. God is good. Trust Him to provide for your needs, thanking Him for every good thing, no matter how small or big.
But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil.
Luke 6:35, ESV

Let us live by Christ’s example, knowing He has paid for others and we receive His grace and forgiveness. We expect nothing from them.
I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.
