give and you shall receive

My motto:

Give and you shall receive...

a lot of bro and sis used to mention,

ask and you shall receive

i know it is right...

in context it is talking about salvation
the moment our souls are saved

Certainly God as our

Father in heaven

knows us and takes care of our needs

we shall not worry about our days

However,

this creates a culture which is:

demanding
expectation arises; of others
sit back and chill out

nothing gets done

no one moves forward

and i prayed to God,

Why?How?

What's now?

Many things need to get done

we want to march forward for Jesus

Deep in my pit,

i know that

there are certain things

that must be done

through my life

through Jesus Christ

through church

When i die

i want to be like Jesus

saying,: it is done
before my last breathe.

Angie,

remember to put your priority in place

and commit to it till the end

tolerance over controversy

biblical over personal opinionssilence over condemnation

action over talking idle
work it over ordering

change things over complaining

contribute over reward

forgive over grudging

give over expecting

share over keeping to ownself

communicate over the lone ranger style

submit over rebellion

smiling over furious

step up rather than stepping down
expand rather than exploding

This came to a conclusion

As one day, God tells me

Give and you shall receive

Be an active figure in your environment

When you need a friend, be a friend

When you need encouragement, affirm others
When you need support and a reason to go on, give that to others

When you feel alone, be there for others

I find that each and everytime,

i receive abundance from God

so much that i can keep on giving

and still never lacking

In that empty space in my heart

There is abundance,

God's leading and presence,

understanding,

compassionate...

Thank you God for teaching me that through giving i shall see you....

I want to be there for my people in good times and bad times, through it all...
