God blesses us so that we might bless others. Christianity is a selfless and giving mindset and I am bothered by those that think their needs should come first. Someone recently said that although he cares about the lost, his family and their needs come first and if that means damnation for those he didn't get to speak to about Jesus then so be it. Wow! Lord, may those words, thoughts or actions never be a part of my being and I pray for the person who possesses them. We are to be vessels for God..to show man how to be. We do not always need to be preaching our faith for sometimes they need to see us live by our faith. And bear Godly witness. We offer a false testimony to someone when our thoughts and motives are selfish for we should be selfless, no matter what. I believe that we can never out give God. I believe that whatever seeds I sow that I will be blessed regardless of what the receiver may do. Deuteronomy 15:10 Yes, we are to use wisdom and not hand a $20 bill over to a homeless man who appears to have a drinking problem but the Lord would certainly expect us to offer him a meal. Proverbs 22:9 We are not to give out of our excess for the Lord judges us by what we are keeping not by what we are giving. Deuteronomy 16:17 And when we choose to look the other way from a person in need, the Lord is saddened. We need to stop judging, comparing, justifying and making excuses up for why we don't give more. Be some one's angel today. Be an answer to some one's prayer and be their beacon of light. Let God's light shine upon you so that they truly know that God loves them and is watching over them. Amen?!
Proverbs 21:26
