“Gifts From a Father”<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Father's<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 32  (English Standard Version)<\/strong><\/em>
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Blessed Are the Forgiven<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A Maskil of David.<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n

32 Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven,
\nwhose sin is covered.
\n2 <\/sup>Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity,
\nand in whose spirit there is no deceit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

3 <\/sup>For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away
\nthrough my groaning all day long.
\n4 <\/sup>For day and night your hand was heavy upon me;
\nmy strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. Selah<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

5 <\/sup>I acknowledged my sin to you,
\nand I did not cover my iniquity;
\nI said, \u201cI will confess my transgressions to the Lord,\u201d
\nand you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

6 <\/sup>Therefore let everyone who is godly
\noffer prayer to you at a time when you may be found;
\nsurely in the rush of great waters,
\nthey shall not reach him.
\n7 <\/sup>You are a hiding place for me;
\nyou preserve me from trouble;
\nyou surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

8 <\/sup>I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
\nI will counsel you with my eye upon you.
\n9 <\/sup>Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding,
\nwhich must be curbed with bit and bridle,
\nor it will not stay near you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

10 <\/sup>Many are the sorrows of the wicked,
\nbut steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord.
\n11 <\/sup>Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous,
\nand shout for joy, all you upright in heart!<\/p>\n

Matthew 7:7-13  (English Standard Version)<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

Ask, and It Will Be Given<\/em><\/h3>\n

7 <\/sup>\u201cAsk, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 <\/sup>For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 9 <\/sup>Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? 10 <\/sup>Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? 11 <\/sup>If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!<\/p>\n

The Golden Rule<\/em><\/h3>\n

12 <\/sup>\u201cSo whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this isthe Law and the Prophets.<\/p>\n

13 <\/sup>\u201cEnter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many.<\/p>\n
