Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely, who conduct their affairs with justice.

Psalm 112

Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely, who conduct their affairs with justice. v5

God has blessed me - there is no doubt. I am in a position to help others.  I am prayerful that God can help me remember that whatever I have both comes from the Lord and belongs to the Lord and that I am to be a good steward and to be a cheerful giver.

Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:7

My Prayer: Lord Jesus, I love You and I know that You have blessed me abundantly.  Thank You Jesus but I know that I am not worth such love and blessing.  I worry and I am often harsh with my words and actions.  Please forgive me Jesus and help me overcome and turn from such sin towards You.  Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You love me.  Help me grow in my faith.  Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength.  Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo. Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior.  Please provide Godly friends and spouses to Zach and Dustin.  Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others.  Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
