THE SPIRIT OF GIVING!

 

THE SPIRIT OF GIVING!

 

Today we LEARN a valuable lesson

About the

SPIRIT OF GIVING

 

And that is

We do not have

TO GIVE

A great big amount

 

But it is important

That we ALWAYS give

What we can=to HELP ANOTHER

THE SPIRIT OF GIVING!=

Is very important=

In this life

 

“Amen=I say to you=

This POOR WIDOW

Put in more

 

Than all the other contributors

To the treasury

 

For they have all

Contributed from their surplus wealth=

But she=From her poverty

Has contributed

All she had……..”                                                                                                     Mark 12:43-44

 

GIVING all that we can is

THE SPIRIT OF GIVING!

 

We are IMPRESSED

By this widow’s spirit

Of giving=

Jesus praises her generosity

 

Sometimes people take

From us=in this world=UNJUSTLY

There are many people

In this world

Who have their hands OPEN

 

But that does NOT hurt us

As long as we

Are giving with

THE SPIRIT OF GIVING!

 

As long as we

Are giving of OURSELVES=

And giving the world

ALL that we have

To give with

 

The proper spirit=

Just like the poor widow is

WHERE a lesson can be valuably learned

 

“They read

From the Book of the Law

Of God

 

Making it clear

And GIVING the meaning

That the people understood

What was being read”                                                                                                            Nehemiah 8:8

 

“The precepts=of the Lord

Are right

GIVING JOY=to the heart

 

The commands of the Lord

Are radiant

GIVING light to the eyes”                                                                                                        Psalm 19:8

 

“But since you excel

In everything-------

 

In faith-in speech-

In knowledge=in complete earnestness

And in the love

We have kindled in you-------

 

See that you also excel

In this=GRACE OF GIVING”                                                                                                         2 Corinthians 8:7

 

The POOR WIDOW=knew firsthand

What it was

To give everything that she had

JUST LIKE JESUS!

 

What a tremendous EXAMPLE

They are for us=to teach us

In=THE SPIRIT OF GIVING!

 

I love all of you=my FAMILY AND FRIENDS=

You have GIVING HEARTS!

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our ALWAYS GIVING=Holy Father God!
