But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 2 Corinthians 9:6 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/2co.9.6.KJV
May God bless whatever is put into His hands. May God bless your year bountifully with increase abundantly. When giving, give with a cheerful heart because God loves a cheerful giver. Give from your heart and not out of the abundance of your riches. Give because you love Jesus. Give because He gave His life so that we may live free from sin. Even though there is sin in the world, we do not have to participate in it. We do not have to be involved with it, or associated with it.
When you plant good seeds, good things will come from those good seeds planted. When you plant bad seeds, bad things comes from it. I am talking about the choices people make in their life. For every action and decision made, there is an outcome. That is why it is important to make good decisions when deciding whether or not to do something.
For instance; Judas was one of the twelve disciples who followed Jesus, but Jesus knew what kind of person he was, but He did not judge him. He knew what was in their hearts, just like He knows what’s in our hearts. Jesus knew that Judas was going to be the one to betray Him, just like He knew that Peter was going to deny Him three times. The point I am making is this: Two different outcomes for two different people who did wrong. Jesus still used Peter in ministry even though he denied Him, but Judas hanged himself because of what he did. Now, all of that happened at one time on the same night Jesus was arrested in the garden. Peter got a chance to make things right with Jesus, but Judas did not. The question is this: What do you think you would have done if it were you who had to make the decision to betray Jesus or not, and what would you have done if you were the one who denied Jesus as Peter did? Would you weep as Peter did, or would you hang yourself as Judas did?
Make decisions that you know will have a good outcome for you, and not only that, but to bring God glory, honor, and praise. Ask , seek, and knock in prayer to our Heavenly Father the things He would have us do for Him concerning the Kingdom of God, and not just what we want for ourselves.
God is good to us everyday. We must thank Him everyday for what He does for us. Where would we be without Him?
Jesus loves us all. He laid down His life for us. We were bought at a price we will never be able to repay. If you have not talked to Jesus today, or if you have never talked to Him, do so while the blood is running warm in your veins. He can and will change your life when you repent, which means to turn from your wicked ways and believe that Jesus is the Son of God who was raised from the dead on the third day by the Father in heaven, and ask Him to come into your heart to be your personal Lord and Savior. Accept Him today. It will be the best and greatest decision you will make for all eternity. He is ready to give you a new life in Him. He is ready to give you peace and joy that the world can never take from you. He is ready to give you more blessings that you may not even have room enough to contain. This is not fine print, but real truth. God bless and keep you safe in the palm of His mighty hands. Amen.©2022
