The God of Abundance
My God is a generous God; it’s just who He is. When you view the wonderful world He has made, you see His giving spirit everywhere. For example, He could have made one kind of flower; but He made thousands. (According to Alexa, there are 400,000 flowering plant species.) He might have made all things beige; but instead gave us color. After all, the rainbow was His idea!
Apples could have been our only fruit; but look how many varieties He made! (Quora tells us there is up to 2,000 edible plants and fruits.)
He could dole out one blessing to each human. Instead; Psalm 23 tells us our cup overflows with blessing.
The ultimate proof of His generosity is that He gave the most precious thing He had, His Son, to redeem humanity.
I am beyond grateful.
Give What You Need
The Word also tells us that those of us who are generous will prosper. Think of it as a recipe for success. If you help others, you will be helped. It is the law of sowing and reaping and the Apostle Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 9:6 our reaping depends on how much we sow.
Give what you need and be generous about it. It will come back to you; and then you will have more to give – a never ending cycle of abundance. You need love? Give love away! You will reap more than you can ever imagine.
This post was written in response to the prompt “generous,” provided by the community at Five Minute Friday. We free write for 5 minutes on the week’s prompt and then share.
In the interest of full disclosure, I wrote my post on Friday in 5 minutes; but the headings, scriptures and graphics took longer and so I am posting on Saturday.
I’m also sharing at Grace & Truth, Inspire Me Monday, Remember Me Monday, Tell His Story, InstaEncouragements Link-Up, Let’s Have Coffee, Tune In Thursday, Grace at Home
