God’s greatest gift to us is our relationship with His Son Jesus. It is a gift beyond comparison. Jesus promised that when we abide in Him, we will experience the fulfillment of His joy (John 15:11), and without that kind of deep, abiding joy, the rest of life is mundane at best. But Scripture also casts the joy of the Lord in terms of temporal things. The enjoyment of “things” can be a positive spiritual experience. When we recognize that He “gives us richly all things to enjoy and that “every good gift is from above” (James 1:17), our hearts should be full of thankfulness and praise. This, in and of itself, is an act of worship. Enjoy the Giver and the gifts. Our Heavenly Father delights in bringing us delights! He “gives us richly all things to enjoy” — 1 Timothy 6:17
