SHARING WHAT WE HAVE

2 Corinthians 9:7-8 You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don't give reluctantly or in response to pressure. "For God loves a person who gives cheerfully." And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.

It's so lovely when we can share something of what we have, with the right spirit. The reason I say that is, it's possible to share something with a begrudging spirit, out of a sense of  'I suppose I ought to but I don't really want to.' Well, I know I've felt like that sometimes, maybe you have too!😊

It's possible though with God's help and His leading to share anything we have with such a happy spirit, such a generous spirit that it actually makes us glad to do it. It can be something small or something big, whether we're sharing a ride in our car, a card, a kind word, a phone call, a prayer, a gift, a compliment or maybe a helping hand. Even a touch can bring comfort, or an apology can bring restoration. It could be financial to help ministries spread the gospel, or some money slipped in someone's bag when we know they're struggling. The Lord will show us.

Whatever it is, when we do it gladly as to the Lord, He's promised He'll not only bless the person on the receiving end but He will bless us too. With God, it's always a win win situation.😊

Lord as we begin this new week help us to see anything we can share, big or small, to be a blessing in any way to others. Amen.
