DAILY INSPIRATION |
Remember:
A stingy planter gets a stingy crop; a lavish planter
gets a lavish crop.
(2 Corinthians 9:6, the Message)
We’ve all heard the saying, “What
you get out of life depends on what you put into it”.
What are you “putting” into your life? How
are you planting - stingily or lavishly? What does Paul
mean?
The planting Paul speaks of is giving, but not just
of money, but giving and serving in every area of our
lives. We are called to be servants of God and to follow
Jesus’ example and be a servant to the world.
We're called to help others, yes even those who are
not yet believers - especially those who are not yet
believers - that they might through your service and
friendship become believers as well and take up the
call to share with others God’s longing for a
personal intimate relationship with them.
Jesus spoke of life and life abundantly and He did not
necessarily mean financial wealth. The greatest sense
of abundance we can feel in our lives comes when we
are doing what we were made by God to do. When we do
that nothing else matters, the trials, difficulties
all pale with the contentment and peace we have knowing
that we are doing what God wants us to do. When we do
that we will have the abundant life Christ spoke of.
We will be lavish planters.
Live it Fierce
