Am not sure why these words are being impressed upon my heart 'we do not give because we have too much or are rich but we give because there is a need’. Yesterday, we received a gift from a blog friend and I was humbled because, she has her hands full but the thought of her sparing a few coins and time to buy baby girl a gift really humbled me.
Again this morning, a young man walked into the shop and as we talked he shared with me a quote of a lady who helped educate a child for over 12years. It read ‘ I did not help because I was rich, I helped because there was a need’. By her country’s standards she was poor yet she educated this child by paying fees for all those years.
This morning I read Isaiah 48:17-18 (NIV) and I will wait to be led...
17 This is what the LORD says—
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
“I am the LORD your God,
who teaches you what is best for you,
who directs you in the way you should go.
18 If only you had paid attention to my commands,
your peace would have been like a river,
your well-being like the waves of the sea.
