Every good thing and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

James 1:17 (NIV)

God only gives gifts that are good and perfect. He doesn’t give sickness or disease. He doesn’t give you poverty or lack. He gives you health and healing, provision and protection. He gives you wisdom and strength, favor and blessings. God hasn’t changed His mind, and He hasn’t changed His Word. You have a perfect God who gives only good and perfect gifts to His children.
