Made For A Reason

Why did God create you? Well consider this; He created the sun to give light and heat. The rivers to give life, the clouds to give water, trees and plant life to give fruit. God made the fruit to give seed, and the seed to give birth to flowers, and vegetables. Flowers to give perfume and vegetables to give nourishment. May I suggest that He created you for the same reason, to give. The Bible teaches that we are to glorify and enjoy God forever. How do we glorify and enjoy Him? Answer; as we give of ourselves to God and give of ourselves to others, we bring glory to God and joy into our hearts.

If you are living your life to take from this world, your life will always be empty. You were created to give, to give blessings, to give of yourself. To give help and comfort to those in need. To give light, to give love, to share the gospel. Do you want an abundant life? Then give. Give encouragement; give joy, give hope, and love. Walk by faith in the fullness of His Spirit so that your giving will be generous. For when you give, it shall be given to you, abundant and overflowing. You think about that.

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. [Luke 6:38]

And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased. [Hebrews 13:16]
