God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. 2 Corinthians 9:8
An old widow was living in poverty and want. A young man, hearing she was in need, went to visit her to see if he could be of any help. The old lady complained bitterly of her condition and remarked that her son in Australia was doing very well. Her friend inquired, “Doesn’t he do anything to help you?” She replied, “No, nothing. He writes to me regularly once a month but he sends me only some little pictures with his letters.” The young man asked to see the pictures she had received. To his surprise, he found each of them to be twenty-pound notes. The poor old lady did not realize the value of this foreign currency, but had imagined them to be mere pretty pictures.
She had lived in poverty and want, whereas she could have had all the bodily comforts she desired and needed so much. We smile at the foolishness of the old woman, but how many of us are like her, living as though we were paupers instead of sons and daughters of the King?
- David Jeremiah. (2002). Sanctuary (59).

Dear Pastor,
This is so true of us in this day and time, we don't trust our God.
Yes, the Lord will give what is good, and our land will yield its increase. Righteousness shall go before Him and shall make His footsteps a way in which to walk.
God is the ultimate Giver. He expects nothing less than for us to follow His example. I have found that giving a little bit of myself every day is what God wants us to do. You may think you won't have anything left if you do that, but if you give as the Lord leads you to do, soon you will receive so much that you will have to figure out where to put it all.
God bless you Pastor , keep on telling us what is right.
In His love,

Pastor,
I am in the midst of learning that GOD desires that his children have the best. We have a tendency to think that we only should get second class when GOD desires his children to have first class blessings (his best). To realize this one must walk in his Holy Spirit and humble him/her self. I find shelter in his HOLY WORD.
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
1 Peter 2: 8-10 (KJV)
I apologize, its.
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
1 Peter 2:9 (KJV)
