Reaping Bountifully

Greetings to all; on this "grateful" Thursday, let us thank God for His desire always to give us more.

In our humility, we ask God only to give us enough. However, there are times when God desires us to reap bountifully by providing us with more.

2 Corinthians 9:6–8 (GW)

6 Remember this: The farmer who plants a few seeds will have a very small harvest. But the farmer who plants because he has received God's blessings will receive a harvest of God's blessings in return.

7 Each of you should give whatever you have decided. You should not be sorry that you gave or feel forced to give since God loves a cheerful giver.

8 Besides, God will give you his constantly overflowing kindness. Then, when you always have everything you need, you can do more good things.

Lesson: Although we may feel undeserving of God's blessings because of our shortcomings or sins, He is the only one to qualify who receives the more He is ready and willing to give.
