Share abundantly

“And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that by always having enough of everything, you may share abundantly in every good work.” – 2 Corinthians 9: 8

Dear friends in Christ Jesus, we can confidently say that every good work comes from God. God always wants us humans to be good and have everything that we need for our wellbeing. The one who created us in his image  and likeness also makes sure that we lack nothing. God wants us to have enough of everything that includes both material and spiritual. The more blessings we get from God the more we are able to help others. God loves a cheerful giver.

Paul is encouraging the Christians to support and help each other materially. Especially the one who has more should give to the one who has less. That too he should not give under compulsion or reluctantly. The person should give from his open heart with love. Paul is convinced about the fact that the more you give the more you get back. We could read about in the letter to Philippians 4:17 –“Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the profit that accumulates to your account.”

Dear friends, our God is able to provide us with every blessing in abundance. Let us share it also with others in doing good works. Let us be more generous just like our God. Our God never fails us.
