I am so saddened by people and their lack of compassion. Their lack of desire to help others in need. I cry so often when I see the behavior of some and I pray to the Lord to bless me in that way for I will show them how it is to be. We are not to view money as something to accumulate for ourselves but we are to see how we can use it as a blessing for others. Luke 12:34 says " For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Seek the kingdom of God and make Him Lord of your life...your whole life and everything else will come together. But if you are holding on to money like it is yours, be very aware of what the bible says. How we view money is of interest to the Lord. He wants us to look at our finances/blessings as to how can we use this for God's purpose. If your excuse is, "well I have my own bills to pay for" or " I can't help you, I gotta help me..I have a car, mortgage, kids, college, credit cards" or "I have retirement to save for"... do you know what the bible instructs us to do if our possessions and financial goals are hindering us from giving generously, loving others and serving God? It instructs us to sell what we must to bring our life into perspective. It is all His, not ours. I remember one night reflecting back on my old job and leaving it and getting kinda upset thinking the opportunity to make that kind of money was over and you know what the Lord had to say to me? He vividly said, "Your blessings never came from them, they came from me." And I never looked at anything, anyone, any job or any opportunity again the same way for everything in our life that comes to us is but a vessel to which God uses to bless us. And it is He that gets all the glory in my feast or in my famine. And I choose to trust Him today. I hope you do too.
Lord, I thank you for all your have blessed me with. My husband who is truly a man of God who dedicates his life to you and saving the lost. You gave me my heart's desire which was to be with a man of God who loved and served you first. You have given me my health, my family and my wonderful home to enjoy and live in as my haven. I let go of everything and I give it all to you today so that you are in control of it all. My health, wealth, relationships...everything. For none of it matters without You in my life. I ask that you forgive me for worrying about so much lately. I ask that you refresh and restore my faith in You for I know you know my needs and I know that my desires are aligned with yours and that you will provide. Forgive those that choose to look the other way and not help or those that have disappointed me by not supporting my business in anyway. I forgive them and I pray for them because I know my work will be successful with You in the center and You will enlarge my territory so that I can be a blessing to others and I need not worry. I love you and I thank you and I rejoice in this day. And it is in your precious name that I ask these things. Amen.
