Being a retired woman who takes care of her mother I try to be careful with my money, yet I fail many times. Recently I switched my wardrobe from Fall/Winter to Spring/Summer(what a job). I'm very careful to put things away at the end of the season clean and nothing in the pockets. I tell you this so you get the full impact of what God did Tuesday night.
It was the night the Lord and I had a date. I dressed for Him and no one else as I wanted to be with Him and my focus on HIm. Soooooo I went to Word of LIfe Church where Jerry is currently holding meetings. (The Lord touched me in a sweet and powerful way that night.) During the offering time I asked the Lord what I should give - "I'll give it all if you want me to'. Now He has taught me to not give out of impulse, presumption, or guilt but to ask the Holy Spirit. Sometimes it is hard to give when you don't have much - I would like to give bunches - Ok a little rabbit trail - while Jerry was in the back ministering to someone I ran up to the front and put $5.00 on a chair Jerry had put out to sit on - I could not wait to give - the meeting ended, and I went my way. The next day as I was getting dressed I changed my mind all of a sudden from a green pair of pants to wear to a fun pair of red crop pants. Hmmm whats this in my pocket? Aaaak a $5.00 bill. I jumped up and down and laughed because I felt the presence of my sweet friend and lover Jesus. He put it there. Oh what intimacy and a beautiful message of ' See, I'll take care of you don't worry'. This went right along with what was being taught regarding Cain & Abel and their offerings - I think the Lord was pleased with my heart and that was part of what He was showing me.
He is Faithful! May you trust Him from your heart - tha's what it's all about anyway what is your heart doing?
