Monday, June 8, 2015 "Being Poor to God but Rich to Thyself"

We are blessed by God so that we can in turn be a blessing to someone else.  When much is given, much is required. Do not be rich and generous with yourself and poor to God, the church and others. The saying we are to "pay it forward" is kind of an oxymoron phrase. When we bless others, we do not expect it back in return nor, in most cases,  is the person in a position to do so. We are called to help the orphans, the poor, the homeless, the widows...all of which are unable to "pay it forward" themselves. Therefore let us give with a cheerful heart without any hesitation or reservation. Amen? Amen!

From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. Luke 12:48
