A few weeks ago our pastor spoke about being generous and that generosity has nothing to do with wealth but has everything to do with the heart. These scriptures have just resonated in my soul.
Here were five promises to the generous:
1. Psalm 41:1--Blessed is he who considers the poor, the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
2. Proverbs 28:27--He who gives to the poor will not lack, but he who hides his eyes will have many curses.
3. Isiah 58:10--If you extend your soul to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light shall dawn in the darkness and your darkness shall be as the noonday.
4. Luke 6:38--Give and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.
5. 2 Corinthians 9:7--So, let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudingly or of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver.
Yesterday we had the opportunity to practice this. These pictures really don't even begin to show the magnitude of the blessings that poured into the Dream Center at Winbourne. WE are so blessed to be a blessing.
