Thoughts on Today's Verse...

What a powerful promise! If we are willing to generously share with others in the name of Jesus, as the apostle Paul discusses in the previous verses, we will always have what we need to bless others, and our lives will be full of good deeds that bring glory to God and his blessing to many. So let's remind ourselves of one of the first lessons we should have learned as young children: share... share what we have... share generously! Only this time, as children of God, let's share in the name of Jesus to bless others so they receive his grace in tangible ways.

My Prayer...

Thank you, Father, for all the incredible blessings you have poured into my life. You have richly blessed me physically and spiritually. Now, I ask that your Holy Spirit will help me be generous with the gifts you have so richly poured into my life. O Lord, may I be a conduit of your blessings so that others may come to know your grace through the blessings you've given me. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
