About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"GOD LOVES A CHEERFUL GIVER" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
GOD LOVES A CHEERFUL GIVER
THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT ARE HURTING FINANCIALLY THAT I FIND MYSELF WRITING ABOUT THIS SUBJECT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I AM SURE WE ALL HAVE SEEN THE PICTURES OF THE ORPHANS IN THOSE THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES WITH THE FLIES ALL AROUND THEM AND THEY ARE NOTHING BUT SKIN AND BONES. THE ORGANIZATIONS SUPPORTING THEM ARE ALWAYS ASKING FOR DONATIONS AND IT IS GOOD TO SUPPORT THEM, IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT, BUT IF YOU CAN'T, AT LEAST PRAY FOR THEM. PRAYER IS A POWERFUL THING.
HOW ABOUT THE KIDS HERE IN AMERICA THAT GO TO BED HUNGRY EVERY NIGHT? THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE ORPHANS OR IN AN ORPHANAGE TO NEED HELP. NOT MUCH ATTENTION IS PAID TO THESE LITTLE ONES. OUR GOVERNMENT WILL GIVE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO ALL THOSE FOREIGN COUNTRIES, MOST OF WHICH HATE US, BUT WON'T GIVE ANYTHING TO FEED OUR OWN. DOES ANYONE ELSE SEE THE HORROR IN THIS BESIDES ME OR AM I NOT SEEING IT RIGHT?
DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD THAT NEEDS HELP, KIDS OR OTHERWISE. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN FINANCIAL TROUBLE AND SOMEONE HELPED YOU? DO YOU REMEMBER THAT GREAT FEELING YOU HAD WHEN THAT BURDEN WAS LIFTED OFF YOUR SHOULDERS? I KNOW I DO AND I AM PRAYING THAT GOD WILL PROSPER ME SO THAT I CAN DO THE SAME FOR SOMEONE ELSE.
I KNOW WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT GIVING AND I LIKE WHAT JESUS TELLS US IN LUKE 6:38 "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again." HOWEVER, LET'S DON'T GIVE JUST TO GET SOMETHING BACK. WE NEED TO GIVE OUT OF THE GOODNESS OF OUR HEARTS. JUST REMEMBER WHAT 2ND CORINTHIANS 9:7 SAYS "Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for GOD LOVETH A CHEERFUL GIVER ." SO IF YOU CAN HELP SOMEONE TODAY, PLEASE DO IT. YOU WILL BE SUCH A BLESSING AND YOU WILL ALSO BE BLESSED.
NOW IF YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE THAT NEEDS HELP, DON'T THINK OF IT AS CHARITY. WHEN YOU PRAY FOR FINANCIAL HELP, GOD IS NOT GOING TO COUNTERFEIT MONEY FOR YOU TO USE. HE WORKS THROUGH MEN LIKE IT SAYS IN LUKE 6:38 "shall men give into your bosom". SO JUST THANK GOD FOR YOUR BLESSINGS AND PRAY FOR THE ONE WHO WAS OBEDIENT AND DID WHAT GOD ASK HIM OR HER TO DO. WHEN YOU GET BACK ON YOUR FEET, RETURN THE BLESSING TO SOMEONE ALSO. LIKE I SAID BEFORE, YOU WILL BE SUCH A BLESSING AND YOU WILL ALSO BE SO BLESSED.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
