JOURNAL/GIVING




“Peter said, 'Lord-is the PARABLE meant for us or for everyone'” Luke 12:41


Just a few lines later-Jesus warns the disciples-and ALL Christians to take special CARE for:
“MORE will be demanded of the person entrusted with more” (verse 48)


In other words-the MORE GOD GIVES US-the more RESPONSIBILITY we have in POINTING out the PROPER DIRECTION for other CHRISTIANS-this is especially true of our PARRISH and PASTORAL leaders of today-we are to NOT be like the Pharisees and the Sadducees-IF we are talking
or writing a GOOD game-we are to LIVE A LIFE to be an example for all


WHATEVER our talents and abilities are-they are to be USED to BUILD UP the BODY OF CHRIST


it is a GREAT DAY to be ALIVE in GOD'S LOVE for us and a great day to use our talents to HELP in BUILDING UP GOD'S KINGDOM

GIVING




Giving is living
And living is giving


When should I/we stop giving
Only when
God stops giving to us


It is not
What happens to another
When we give to them
It is
What happens to us


“Remember this:
Whoever sows sparingly
Will also reap sparingly
And whoever sows generously
Will also reap generously


Each man should give
What he has decided
In his heart to give
Not reluctantly
Or under compulsion
For God loves a cheerful giver” 2 Corinthians 9:6 & 7


Dear Lord
I pray/we pray
That we have
The courage
To give EVERY OUNCE of ourselves
To you and to others
Just as YOUR SON
And our adopted brother---Jesus Christ did


Nature abhors a vacuum
So we
Must be filled with something


Love is not like any other quality
On this earth
The more love
That we give
THE MORE LOVE
That we have to give


Dear Lord
I pray/we pray
That you FILL US


WITH YOUR LOVE

Ps WITNESS 2-9-13


“But when you give to the needy-do not let your left hand
Know what your right hand is doing-so that your GIVING
May be in secret
Then your Father-who sees what is done in secret-will reward you”


Matthew 6:3-4
