New Life Church An Oasis of Love
with Pastor Marti and Jessica McGrail
IT BEGINS WITH YOU IT BEGINS WITH YOU TODAY'S SCRIPTURE He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward him for what he has done. Proverbs 19:17 TODAY'S WORD You might find yourself thinking from time to time, if I only had more money, I would gladly give. To that I'm going to have to say, ''No way!'' If you will learn to be faithful with what you have, then God will trust you with a whole lot more. You may not have a lot of money right now, but you can buy somebody's dinner every once in a while. You can certainly give someone a kind word. You can go out of your way to pray for somebody in need, especially those you don't much like. You see, giving is a spiritual principle, it's what God's Word is all about. Whatever you give will be given back to you. If you give a smile, you will receive smiles from others. If you are generous to people in their time of need, God will make sure that other people are brought into your life that our going to be more then generous to you in your time of need. What you make happen for others, God will surely make happen for you. You can count on it. A PRAYER FOR TODAY Heavenly Father, show me how to become a good-steward of all You have entrusted me with. My time, talents and money are all Yours Father, given to me to sow into the lives of others, knowing beyond any doubt that You alone are my Provider, my Shelter and my Sustainer. With You I have more than enough in every area of my life. Help me to never forget, all I have, all that I am and all that I can ever be is because of You and You alone. In Jesus mighty Name I pray today. Amen!
