A dear friend of mine blessed me with belated birthday gifts a while back. I unwrapped several gifts before she handed me a gift bag containing these bars of soap. If you could have seen my reaction you would have thought they were bars of gold rather than bars of soap. I really like the soap at World Market. I love the packaging, the fragrances and the fact that they last so long.
Here is where it gets even better. She then handed me an envelope with a large amount of cash inside. It was an extravagantly generous gift. I began to cry tears of joy and gratitude and said, "I was just thankful for the soap!" Later, as I reflected on my evening, the Lord brought to mind this thought: our good God longs to give us the very best gifts. Don't just expect "soap" when He longs to give you the gold. |
