REPAID A THOUSAND TIMES
REPAID A THOUSAND TIMES
I have ALWAYS
Tried to give God
ALL I have-in time-
Money-and prayer
The problem is
I don't have
That much to give
In time or money
BECAUSE of an ongoing chronic
Health troubles since I've been 22-
And it not only has been chronic
But it has put me
In critical situations
Time and again
To the point
WHERE it was almost fatal
But we should always give
ALL we have for God
And one of the great stories
About giving=in the NEW TESTAMENT
Is the story
About the POOR WIDOW
“........she, from her poverty
Has offered
HER WHOLE INVESTMENT” Luke 21:4
I wonder
If she was embarrassed
About the amount
She had to give
As I often am
You see-I live on $875/month
Disability income=and I couldn't even live
Without the help
I RECEIVE from some loving individuals
I would love
To be out there working
I would love
To be out there tithing
Like many individuals
I just simply can't
BUT I do give
ALL I have to others
And to God
In what ways I can give
“All day long
He craves for more
But the RIGHTEOUS give
Without sparing” Proverbs 21:26
“Jesus said,
'FREELY you have received
FREELY GIVE'” Matthew 10:8
So I don't have
That much to give
But I give ALL that I can
Particularly in LOVE to
And PRAYERS for others
And in my writing and
WITH CARDS
The one thing
That I have learned
In-life
Is that
IF you continue to give
God will REPAY YOU
A thousand times
IN BLESSINGS
It is TRUE
What they say:
“YOU CAN'T OUT GIVE GOD”
So what did Jesus say
About the POOR WIDOW-
About the widow's mite
“'Truly
I tell you,'
He said,
'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'” Luke 21:3-4
I hope and pray
That Jesus is
Saying that about me too
And about you
For we are ALL
To give ALL WE HAVE
For God and for others
(Time-money-and TREASURE)
And I can tell you
From the experiences
Of my life
GOD will REPAY you
A thousand time over
Dear Lord-THANK YOU
For all the LOVE and GOODNESS you provide
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
I am THANKFUL FOR YOU
