Quick post- just to jot down a few things that have been on my mind lately...
"The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work." 2 Corinthians 9:6-9
I can relate this to just about any area of my life...whether that be in marriage, parenting, friendships, family relationships, financial provision, etc...There are few things that give such great joy than giving to someone in need, right? I just love that after God instructs us to give cheerfully and bountifully, he will make us overly sufficient in ALL THINGS AT ALL TIMES, so that we may abound in good work! I like the idea of being sufficiently provided for in all areas of my life, amen! My memo to myself is to sow, sow, sow- into all the areas of my life that require nurturing, energy, and sometimes exhaustive degrees of patience! The Lord will satisfy all our needs and we will reap "bountifully"...I got curious and looked up this word for other adjectives..."abundance, plentiful, generous, etc." all were listed. What a blessing to live in abundance in such times where there is so much struggle and difficulty in the world? That's it for now.
