Doubting Thomas

Why do I doubt the goodness of God?  Why do I hesitatingly marvel at His gifts and kindness?  Why do I look at Him and say, "Thanks for being good, but are you sure you want to give that to me?"  Why can't I just open my hands and receive?

I have been blessed with the gift of an amazing friendship recently and instead of resting in what it is, I doubt whether it's actually true.  I continue to think that it's not, and that I'm reading more into the relationship than what it is.  In this, too, I need to open my hands and receive.

"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change." James 1:17
