~~~GOD IS OMNIPRESENT ~~[In All Places At the Same Time~]

~~~"Give, and it will be given to you." ~~[Luke 6:38]-

~~Wherever we are, God is there. He comes to us through other people, a vision, or He can speak to us in dreams. Nothing is impossible with our God.
Enjoy the true story below. ~~

~~"GOOD MEASURE" ~~

~~At a gas station one day, Staci encountered a woman who had left home without her bank card. Stranded with her baby, she was asking passersby for help. Although unemployed at the time, Stace spent $15 to put gas in the stranger's tank. Days later, Staci came home to find a gift basket of children's toys and other presents waiting on her porch. Friends of the stranger had reciprocated Staci's kindness and converted her $15 blessing into a memorable 'Celebration Day' for her family.

This heartwarming story illustrates the point Jesus made when He said, "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].

It can be tempting to hear this and focus on what we get out of giving, but doing so would miss the point. Jesus preceded that statement with this one: "Love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked" (v. 35).

We don't give to get things; we give because God delights in our generosity. Our love for others reflects His loving heart toward us. ~~
