I Give To You

 

I do not give
in order to

take back and
away

for the land that I
now give you

is forever yours
to stay.

**********

The One who gave Jacob and his descendants their land, is with me.

“The land which I gave Abraham and Isaac I give to you; and to your descendants after you I give this land.”

Genesis 35:12 NKJV

What To Do

 

Give to others
if you have plenty
do not be greedy
for more and more

be content
with your wages
and above all else
love the Lord.

You establish what I do.

“So the people asked him, saying, ‘What shall we do then ?’ He answered and said to them , ‘He who has two tunics, let him give to him who has none; and him who has food do likewise.’ Then tax collectors also came to be baptized, and said to him, ‘Teacher, what shall we do?’ And he said to them, ‘Collect no more than what is appointed for you.’ Likewise the soldiers asked him, saying, ‘And what shall we do?’ So he said to them, ‘Do not intimidate anyone or accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.’ “. Luke 3:10,11,12,13,14. NKJV

Only With God

“It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle then for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God.” Mark 10:25

We don’t often think of the disadvantages of being rich.

Thank You, Lord, for knowing just how much to give and what to take away in order for my trust to be in You. And here’s a simple poem . . .

It’s Easier

Being wealthy
– isn’t always the answer
– that we think
– it will be
But being rich
– in what Jesus gives
– can satisfy us
– completely.

The One Thing We Never Lack

“Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, ‘One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow me.'” Mark 10:21

You may know this scripture about the rich young ruler who came to Jesus asking what he needed to do to obtain eternal life. What I had overlooked was the part where Jesus looked at him . . .and loved him.

Thank You, Lord, that the one thing we never lack is Your love of us. And here is a simple poem . . .

The Love Motivator

There is always more to do
a higher level to achieve
so having Your love
is the one thing that bolsters me.
No matter where I’m at
in my ability to obey
Your unconditional love
leads me on each day.
