A few days ago, my wife Geraldine pleasantly surprised me with gifts of a blazer, trouser, shirts, shoes, n’ebigenderako. While I was extremely overjoyed with her and the gifts, I was most especially grateful to God because "every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father," (James 1:17).
God is love (1 John 4:8). All that He does, including judgment, is an expression of the love that He has for us. Our Father God want us His children to know and experience His love, which reaches way beyond what our finite understanding can encompass. In the midst of all the bad we might suffer in this world, God desires that we take breathers of love; intervals of rest to just inhale and enjoy His abounding love for us.
