What can you gain by giving?
What grows the more you share?
What keeps you growing and developing the more you give it away?
Please read 2 Corinthians 9: 6-7
Vs. 6 “Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
I would like to answer all three above questions in one inalienable word:
LOVE
This passage which has been raped by so many to be some sort of open your check book for God mantra is all about Love!
Whoever sows Love sparingly will also reap Love sparingly and whoever shares Love generously will also reap Love generously.
Your heart will grow as you grow in Love, compassion and understanding for others and true Love should never be or feel forced as it does to a legalist but instead it will come naturally from a heart grown in the Grace of God.
How?
The more a person understands the gift the more Love is a natural by-product of their life. The more a person gets the amazing gift of Grace and the completeness of Jesus in them the more Love from Above will pour through every fiber of their being!
Find a place and a time where you will probably not be disturbed. Take several deep breaths and with every exhale relax a little more as He will take away your stress. As you go back to a normal breath just check in your body to see if you are holding any stress and try to relax it without forcing it. When you feel relaxed:
Breathe in and say:
“Abba”
Breathe out and say:
“Love through me”
This might be a good meditation for a few days for you. Trust that God can and will put that Love in you and move that Love through you as you open yourself to Him.
Don’t Worry- Be Grace-Full!!
Bob, just keep on teaching that hyper-grace!
Thank you Brother!
That is the calling God has given me! Praise God for His Grace is sufficient for me!
