Generous Giving

The bread of life that we are going to partake at this very hour is shared by ND Willie . Let’s take time in reading and understanding the Message of God so that we will continue to grow in our knowledge to Him and to better express ourselves as His Masterpieces:

Good morning and Happy Sabbath my dear family in God. God has given us many things, blessings, trials to overcome but today, we shall be reminded Jesus way of facing each circumstances. Our Devotional message for today is all about giving generously.

Memory Text:
Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the foreigner.
–Leviticus 19:10

General Charles Gordon (1833–85) served Queen Victoria in China and elsewhere, but when living in England he’d give away 90 percent of his income. When he heard about a famine in Lancashire, he scratched off the inscription from a pure gold medal he’d received from a world leader and sent it up north, saying they should melt it down and use the money to buy bread for the poor. That day he wrote in his diary: “The last earthly thing I had in this world that I valued I have given to the Lord Jesus.”

General Gordon’s level of generosity might seem above and beyond what we’re able to extend, but God has always called His people to look out for those in need. In some of the laws He delivered through Moses, God instructed the people not to reap to the edges of their field nor to gather all of the crop. Instead, when harvesting a vineyard, He said to leave the grapes that had fallen “for the poor and the foreigner” (Leviticus 19:10). God wanted His people to be aware of and provide for the vulnerable in their midst.

However generous we may feel, we can ask God to increase our desire to give to others and to seek His wisdom for creative ways to do so. He loves to help us show His love to others.
