Sowing and Growing

All kinds of blessings come your way when you honor God in the area of your finances.

Stop hoarding what God has given you and start sharing it with others. Share your time, your energy, your friendships, your love, and your resources. If God has given you joy, share it with somebody else. Make someone else happy; cheer up another person; be a friend to somebody. If God has given you talent and the ability to make money, don't simply accumulate more for yourself; share those resources with others. Don't allow yourself to become stagnant. You must keep your river flowing. That's the way to truly prosper in life and be happy.

When you go through difficult times, because of the stress it's easy to focus only on your needs, on what's wrong in your life. But if you want the best stress relief of all, get your mind off yourself and go help somebody else.

God is keeping a record of every good deed you've ever done. He is keeping a record of every seed you've ever sown. You may think it went unnoticed, but God saw it. And in your time of need, He will make sure that somebody is there to help you. You generous gifts will come back to you. God has seen every smile you've every given to a hurting person. He's observed every time you went out of your way to lend a helping hand.
