JOURNAL/GIVING TO GOD (and OTHERS)




“Jesus said.....'IF you wish to be perfect-go-SELL what you have and give to the poor-and you will
have TREASURE IN HEAVEN


Then come-FOLLOW ME'---WHEN the young man heard this statement-he went away SAD-for he had many possessions” Matthew 19:21-22


WHAT a difficult teaching-I would say-FEW IF ANY of us-could do this-but MAYBE the ultimate meaning of Jesus' teaching is that OUR WHOLE LIFE belongs to God-and that we are to GIVE OUR HEARTS completely back to God and others-so that there will be NO REAL ROOM in our heart for possessions


it is A GREAT DAY to be ALIVE in GOD'S LOVE for us and a GREAT DAY to give WHATEVER WE CAN back to GOD AND OTHERS


LOVE YOUALL!










GIVING TO GOD


Time---money---prayer
Give to God
And give to others
Whatever and whenever you can
For if it is
Given with the proper spirit
God can make it grow---100 fold


“For if the willingness is there
The gift is acceptable
According to what one has
Not according to what he does not”


Some of us
Have no money
Some of us
Have only time and prayer
And some of us
Have only prayer


But it does not matter
For if the willingness
Is there
It is a gift
Acceptable to God our loving Father


In Luke 21
Luke tells the story
Of Jesus seeing all the rich
Putting their gifts
In to the Temple treasury


He then saw a poor widow
Putting in 2 copper coins


He said,
“I tell you truth
This poor widow
Has put in more than
All the others


All these people
Gave their gifts
Out of their wealth
But she out of her poverty
Put in all she had
To live on”


Time---money---prayer
Give to God
And give to others
All of
What you can
And God our loving Father
Will reward you
According to God’s master plan


“I the Lord search the heart
And examine the mind
To reward a man
According to his conduct
According to what his deeds deserve” Jeremiah 17:10


Time---money---prayer
Give it to God
And give it to others
ALL of what you can
