A Rich Father — Part 3

Here is what the Lord Jesus said on the matter of our Heavenly Father knowing what is best:

“If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask Him?” (Matthew 7:11)

Our Father knows what is the best,

And though He wealthy be,

He only gives us what we need,

Not every whim and plea.

What we consider to be good,

He may view different still,

It may not be for blessing, or

According to His will.

And so we leave it to Himself,

And thank Him every day,

Not only for the things He gives,

But what He takes away.
