Today’s Devotional
"You shall reap what you sow. If you sow love and generosity you shall reap love and generosity..."
Be generous to others as I am generous to you.
Dear one, there are those times that you feel discouraged for being unable to provide yourself with something you so much need and want. You feel helpless as what you desire may not be within your abilities to provide for yourself.
For instance, you have been desiring and praying to build a home of your own for yourself and your loved ones. I have heard your prayer and equipped you with the resources you require to build a home. How does the fulfillment of a life-changing desire make you feel? You feel grateful, appreciative, happy, excited, and have so many good satisfying emotions. Would you not feel satisfied and fulfilled when you spread the same joy you feel upon fulfillment of your desire by fulfilling the desires of other people?
My child, delight in helping others. Be compassionate and merciful to others like I am with you. I am love and therefore show love and spread joy in other people’s lives by transforming their lives. Use the resources that I have blessed you with to bless others and I shall reward you greatly. Express generosity by sharing what you have based on pure intentions and not on compulsion. Take joy in making a difference in the lives of others without expecting anything in return. Serving others is an act of serving me so embrace it in my honor.
Beloved one, you are blessed and chosen to do my great work. I will reward you for your selfless acts and shower you with more blessings. You are an angel of hope to others and have a place in my kingdom. I will multiply and equip your resources so that you may continue to bless others as I, your father, bless you.
Be humble.
My child, humble yourself before me at all times. Follow and obey my instructions and live by my word. Submit your weaknesses and problems to me and lean not to your own understanding and strength. Walk with me in humility and I shall lift you up. Do not allow the pleasures of the world to fill you with pride and arrogance. Pride and arrogance are deceitful evil virtues of the enemy that will lead you into destruction. For instance, you may be blessed with wealth and the riches of the world and that satisfaction may lead you to disregard me and feel that you do not need me in your life.
Do you not know that I have provided you with everything you have? Are you not aware of my power to take away just as I provide? Child, everything that exists without me is vanity. You have nothing without me in your life. Living without my power and grace is a self-destructive mission. Do not subject yourself to the suffering and pain of living without my power in your life
My child, wear the garment of humility and honor me. Imitate the likeness of my son Jesus and be humble before me and others. Every day pray that I may endow you with humility and that I may destroy the root of pride in your life so you may receive my grace and glory. Submit yourself to me in humility and I shall reward you riches, honor, and life.

“Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.”
