For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive?
1 Cor 4:7<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
And God is able to<\/strong> bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. As it is written:

\u201cThey have freely scattered their gifts to the poor;
    their righteousness endures forever.\u201d

Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase<\/strong> your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.
2 Cor 9:8-10<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Today the Lord shows me all we have came from Him. All. My givings, all came from Him. He gave so that I could give. He gave me something, so that I could give in return. And if He didn’t give, there’s nothing for me to give.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My poor little faith. Thinking to stop giving because we ourselves are lacking. So whose faith to give? Definitely not me, one with little faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Praise be to God who’s generous in blessings and generous in heart, wanting to bless me for righteousness that I didn’t own or achieved, but merely credited to my account by His grace through His givings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thanking God for these two brothers VP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
