It feels so good to give back. I can not say it enough that when the Lord moves your spirit to help someone, please make sure you do. Even when what He is asking you to do appears to be too much. If He proclaims it, He provides it. Just let go of what your head tells you and listen to the Holy Spirit and you will be blessed beyond measure. Your soul will feel great and more importantly your giving will be such a testimony for God and such a blessing to the receiver. The world is so full of selfish people that I lift up that spirit to God and I ask that He replace it with a spirit of selflessness. Imagine if we all paid it forward? We must understand that the blessings bestowed upon us are so we can in turn bless others. Too often we get caught up in the fact that God blessed us because WE are so favored and although He does honor our faithfulness, it also comes with much responsibility and expectancy. The Lord may test you with a little to see if you are indeed a good steward of your money and when He sees you are, He very often blesses you with more. This showering has very little to do with you and everything to do with others....it is so you take those blessings and glorify God with them and spread His love. THAT IS WHAT IT IS ABOUT. So I encourage you to remind yourself of this next time you are unexpectedly blessed, that you in turn bless someone else.
Proverbs 11:25
