Given without criticism

“Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without criticizing, and it will be given to him.”James‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

It is important we realise God’s love for us. For, who else would give without reserving the right to condemn? Especially if we had been foolish up to the time of asking?

I have relatives who are caught in wrong and destructive places. However, I know that humble repentance will remove all guilt and a prayer for Godly wisdom would be given. Our God is like that!

I am ever mindful of John Newton, the writer of Amazing Grace. He had sunk low and was a slave trader, but turned and came to Christ. He went on to work in the ministry, greatly humbled by the grace and forgiveness given. Our God’s love and willingness to endow us with His grace and wisdom never ends.

We can come to Him today. Repentance opens the door to a loving Father! Amen!
