God has blessed us with a wonderful church family! We enjoyed being with them again last week for their annual missions conference. Being there during this special time brought back so many memories. I remember when I was just a teenager staring at my faith promise card, wondering how much I should give. My first faith promise pledge was just 5 cents a week. It wasn’t much but God used it to grow my faith. Over the years my faith promise has grown and God has always provided so that I could give. Malachi 3:10 “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse…and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” That verse has been so true in my life! I believe God has blessed me and my family because one day I decided to give to missions. Not because I’m special, but because as a 15 year boy, I decided to prove God. And He has never failed me. Step out Christian and watch God do the impossible!
Wonderful Chris!
I just read a thought: when we follow God when we don’t understand and we do God’s will when we don’t have all the answers, then your faith is a strong faith in God. So, too with missions giving. You just give because it is the right thing to do. God will provide if we will just step out in faith and give as wecare supposed to. Thank you for your faithfulness to the cause of Christ.
