Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's your early morning praise party. I am Sherry Mackie.
It's time right now for today's word. Gifts from the
Father's Heart. Gifts from the Father's Heart. James one in
seven says, every good and perfect gift is from above,

(00:21):
coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights. You know,
every one of us has been shaped by a father figure,
some with love, support and stability, others with absence, distance,
and even pain. Maybe you had a father who taught

(00:41):
you how to believe in yourself, how to stand strong,
how to dream big. Or maybe your father couldn't be
what you needed him to be. Either way, there's something
powerful you need to remember today. You have a perfect
father in heaven and he has never failed you. Your

(01:06):
heavenly father is the giver of every good and perfect gift.
He is the one who formed you with his own hands.
He is the one that breathed life into you, and
he is the one that called you his masterpiece. The
talents you carried, the creativity within you, the compassion that

(01:27):
sets you apart, none of that is random. It all
came from him. You are divinely equipped with everything you
need to fulfill your purpose. Too often we let our past,
we let our family.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Story make us feel limited.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
We think, if only I had more support, if only
I had more resources, if only I had more love,
I'd be further along.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
But here's the truth.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
What didn't come from people will come.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Directly from God.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
You're not limited by what your earthly father did or
didn't do, or even your earthly mother.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
For that matter.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
You are empowered by what your heavenly father has already done.
He's the father who never abandons. He's the father who
never stops believing in you. He's the father who never
withholds good things from you. Every blessing, every breakthrough, every
open door.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Comes from his heart of love.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
You may have experienced rejection from your parents here below,
but God says you are accepted. You may have faced
loss in your life, but he promises I will restore
what He's spoken over your life still stands and nothing,
no thing, and no one can cancel it.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
So today I want you to walk with your head
held high.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Your father is still writing your story and he's not
finished yet. You are gifted, you are chosen.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
You are deeply loved.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
The best is not behind you. Guess what is still
in front of you? It's still ahead of you. It's
still waiting to be released from your father's hand. Oh Father, God,
thank you for being the perfect, heavenly father to us.
Even when life hasn't been fair, You've been faithful.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
God, Thank you.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
For the good and the perfect gifts you've placed within us.
Help us to walk boldly in our purpose, trusting that
every blessing in our lives.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Comes from your heart in Jesus' name. That's your word
for today.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
Take it apply to your every day life, and you
continue to be encouraged and inspire. It's sure earlybody praise party.
I am Sherry Mackie.
