Greetings sisters!
How are you on this new day? Even though I may not be able to hear your answer ☺, I hope you're well in the faith and holding fast to the Lord!
I was thinking about how we sisters are to be givers...of many different good things. It could be time, help, resources, and many more things which really would or should come from giving love. It is the opposite of selfishness really isn't it which wants to keep and heap up comforts and fleshly pleasures etc for one's self or do what we want to do. I wanted to share these scriptures to edify and encourage on that concept.
I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
Acts 20:35
And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
Matthew 10:7-8
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
2 Corinthians 9:7
Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.
Philippians 4:17
Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
Philippians 2:3-4
What did God give?
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Galatians 2:20
Himself! And we give our lives for Him and so let us willing give to others...to the saints and the lost especially with the precious truth of the gospel which can set them free!
Beautiful foggy fresh morning with the birds here...
And here he is eating grapes...
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?Matthew 6:26
