WITHOUT RESERVATION

"One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he
should give, and only suffers want. Whoever brings blessing will be
enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered."

What a convicting verse! If we give freely, we will have blessing. If we withhold, we will suffer WANT. WOW! I think this verse sticks out to me today because I have been so blessed by people donating to the trip to Sierra Leone. Just going out and buying extra to give to others, or pulling cash from their wallets to give to those children they have never even met! Even in a time of recession in our country, God's people are giving freely!

I am convicted because there have been times in my life when I have thought, "Well, we just can't afford to give right now." And I have withheld in giving. And do you know what...just as this verse says, I have wanted that month. But God's word is true. God's word is never failing. And the months that Doug and I give freely, without worry, but with faith that our God will take care of our needs, we are so blessed!

Might we give without reservation today...time, talent, prayer, money...whatever you have...give freely today!
