Ourselves! (not others.)

At Sunrise,
Even When Storms Are a’Brewing,
Nothing Need Deter Us
God Sends Us
To Bring Hope+ to All.
Deuteronomy 26:10-11
So now I bring the first of the fruit of the ground that you, O Lord, have given me.’ You shall set it down before the Lord your God and bow down before the Lord your God. Then you, together with the Levites and the aliens who reside among you, shall celebrate with all the bounty that the Lord your God has given to you and to your house.
1 Timothy 6:17-18
As for those who in the present age are rich, command them not to be haughty, or to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but rather on God who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. They are to do good, to be rich in good works, generous, and ready to share,
Words of Grace For Today
Fundamental to life abundant is to give it all away, every last breath we have, and of course every thing, and all the rest.
God always gives us enough.
Not enough to feed our endless covetousness, lusts, greed and thirst to make our own lives at the cost of others.
God does, though, give us enough to satisfy God’s desires for us: to live and live well.
This is how God created us to live.
Today, how else would we try to live, when as God intends brings joy, contentment, trust, and hope to the core of our being?
