This recent
Mother’s day reminded me of how my mom was always generous when I asked for my
everyday school allowances. Whenever I have projects, she would always give me
money above from what I ask. She doesn’t want me fall short on my expenses that’s
why I always have extra pocket money to buy ice cream on a stick.
God is so
generous like my mom or like other moms , fathers or people out there. He gives
us more than we ask for. His blessings are overflowing. I would not say this if
I had not experienced it yet.
I only asked
for an inch of his grace, and He gave me a mile of happiness, joy, security,
and lifetime miracle.
Isn’t God is
so generous or should I say more than generous?
When I recently
read the passage of Paul in Ephesians 3:20, I felt like my jaw dropped right
away on my study table.
“Now to him who is able to do
immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at
work within us,”
Ephesians 3:20
The question here now is, why does God give us abundant blessings
or prosperity?
There must be a reason behind it.
God gives us abundance bless others in return. When we bless others, people are able to see the grace of Jesus in us.
Proverbs
3:9-10 tells us to "Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits
of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats
will brim over with new wine." (NIV)
Luke
6:38 tell us, "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed
down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with
the measure you use, it will be measured to you." (NIV)
Now is the time to reflect and mull
over the God’s abundant blessings you have received.
Have you shared the bounty from God to
other people especially those who need it most?
Maybe those extra incomes you have
received are really meant for those hopeless people who are dying of hunger,
abandoned orphans and widows.
They are still waiting for you. You
may be even the last hope they have.
