Prodigal:  It is a blessing to share God’s earth with others.

Me:  I agree and we cannot forget to thank Him for it!

This is from the book Abraham by Charles Swindoll

How easy it is for us to receive God’s blessings yet fail to balance receiving with giving.  Resolve to become a generous person.  I will warn you, however, that giving generously requires faith–trust that the Almighty will look after your needs.  That’s because we have a natural fear of running our of provisions, no matter how much we possess.  When asked, “How much is enough?”  a thin and frightened voice within our soul shouts, “Just a little bit more!”

I wonder how much better we would know our God if we gave more generously.  We don’t have greater intimacy with the Almighty because we don’t really believe He will honor our generosity….so we hold back.

God has blessed you.  So share.  Become a generous person.  When you do, you will discover a greater satisfaction than you have ever known.

Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

John 11:40
