GIVE ‘TILL IT HURTS

WEDNESDAY
MI DAILY DEVOTION
GIVE ‘TILL IT HURTS
(Philippians 4:19) “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
“Giving is an act of kindness, not because of necessity or it’s necessary on your part; but it’s because of your deep urge to do it from your heart, in the name of love.” ElyRS
“Giving is sharing, sharing for the sake of Christ and in the name of Jesus” ElyRS
 “He would recompense it: But my God shall supply all your wants according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus, v. 19. He does as it were draw a bill upon the exchequer in heaven, and leaves it to God to make them amends for the kindness they had shown him. "e shall do it, not only as your God, but as my God, who takes what is done to me as done to himself. You supplied my needs, according to your poverty; and he shall supply yours, according to his riches.’’ But still it is by Christ Jesus; through him we have grace to do that which is good, and through him we must expect the reward of it. Not of debt, but of grace; for the more we do for God the more we are indebted to him, because we receive the more from him.” (The Bible Collection, Matthew Henry)
(Acts 20:35) “I have showed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
