“From the fullness of his grace we have
received one kindness after another.
John 1:16 (NIV)
God
sheds His kindness upon us, His children, out of His grace. He loves His
followers so much that He provides ALL their needs. As an exercise take sheet
of paper and list the things in your life that you have. Take a second sheet;
divide this page into two columns. Head the left-hand column with
“Necessities”. Head the other side, “Luxuries”. Transfer each item from your
first sheet onto the second sheet according to whether it is a necessity or
not.
When we
categorize our things like this we find we have more possessions that could be
considered luxuries. For our 20th anniversary, we bought a brand new
car. I felt so blessed, I promised the Lord, I would use it for Him. You see,
this was the first brand new car we had bought. I wanted to thank Him for the
gift.
God is
good to His children. He answers prayer from His storehouse of grace. He
rewards those children for their obedience.

ReplyDeleteHello and thank you so much for stopping by my blog and commenting :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea about listing our necessities and our luxuries. So often, we have so much more than we ever need.
Many blessings to you,
