On Offer

Letter 4484

These gifts littered around my home and my land — food to eat, shelter to use, shade to cool, a wall, a shed, a garden, a forest, a meadow — are available and ready at all times.

Why do I wait? Why do I self-deny?

Treasure awaits me simply grasping it.

Let me take what you offer, Lord.


Consider:

Can I accept your gifts today?
