share with others


Please share.  You were given wisdom, resources and many blessings.  Those weren’t given to you so you can hoard them or keep them only for yourself.

The way we look at and use what we have says a lot about how we live life and what is important to us.  You’ve heard people say people, “you can replace things, but you cannot replace people.”  Heard that most recently from a family that was involved in a fire.  They shared how blessed they were after the horrible accident.

2 Corinthians 9:8  NLT
And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.

How blessed are you?  What has God given you that you are being asked to share with others?

This might be a tangible material thing.  This might be a talent you have worked hard on.  Use your singing voice to bless others.  If you are a good teacher, teach.  If you have been blessed with enough money to live, give.  Be generous.

1 John 3:17  NTL
If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion—how can God’s love be in that person?

Proverbs 11:25  NLT
The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.

Look around.  The reason why we are blessed is so we can bless others.  If we are watching, we will see needs we can meet and kindness we can give.

Don’t hold back.  Share with others.  Notice how God gives back to you.  He loves to bless His kids.

This morning if you are my Facebook friend watch my page for a little something special about my e-devotions.  Now, go and be generous!

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
