The Good GiverIf you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him! Matthew 7:11 NASB
In Other Words
Even though human nature is rooted in depravity, you still give your children things that are good for them. Your divine Heavenly Father is far better at giving good, wholesome things to His children than you are. Find out for yourself. Ask!
