God Loves a Cheerful Giver

By Rev. Pat

Money, money it seems to hold such a power, but it is simply a form of energy that flows into our hands  for our management and use.  In Reality it is Our Father in action.

The one who forgets this simple statement may be forgetting that it is Our Father who gives us the power to be wealthy.  He is the One who gives us the money to manage for Him.

Forget about whether the person is white, black, brown, yellow, blue eyed with blond hair or red.  Forget about all that, because what we try to hold from another, we are actually holding from ourselves.

Our Father does not even see the color of the skin!  Our Heavenly Father, created all things and that means the moon, stars, sky, animals, rocks, soil, people, furniture, books, trees, everything above the earth and below it and everything in it, too.

If you begin to look around you and simply think, you will realize everything you see, is a form of Our Father.  We own nothing, nada, niente, zilch, nil!  Do you get it?  We own nothing.  It all belongs to Our Father, and yes that means if you are reading this, you too belong to Our Father and the wonderful thing is that He sees each of us as His children, He is our parent and He loves us dearly.  That is the Truth of each of you and of me.

Our Father does not see your deeds.  He sees the effect of what you do, which registers in the heart.  That is what counts!  That which is in the heart is what counts, for that is what Our Father feels.

He gives us the power to get a job, to make money, to be healthy, to stay healthy, to speak our word, which is sometimes positive and sometimes absolutely positively negative, but above all He has given us the power to choose.  Our choices are the results that we live.  Thus, it is wise to be a smart chooser and to choose wisely.

O, I so pray that you are still reading with an open heart, open mind and an open spirit, so that this goes in and you begin to think.  This is how it is done and no one can choose for you.  All His servants can do is present the information and pray that you choose to practice it smartly.

This is what the Psalmist says, "1. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:  2. To shew forth thy loving-kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night...."  Psalm 92:1, 2 and in II Corinthians 9:7, "Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver."

There are many verses just like this that speaks of giving, but it should never be out of duty.  It is a wise giver who gives because he/she wants to say thank you for the faithfulness and the kindness that Our Father shows to us.

The beginning would be to choose the Church, the Fellowship, the Temple or Synagogue or the Religious Organization that you can believe is truly doing the work of Our Father and begin to tithe, even if it is $1 each month.  The beginning would be to be consistent and then persistent.  Never let anything come between giving to God (yes, you are giving back to God, not the Minister and not to the church) to show Him that you are thankful.

You will see no "Donate" button on our Website, for Our Father has said, "It must be their initiation.  You have no right to ask, to initiate.  Each one must make the effort to do so themselves."  The next question was, "Do you trust Me Patricia?"

I do not have to tell you these things, but I think it helps you to understand that my husband, family and particularly me are in the same shoes.  We have to do the same thing.  No one is exempted. 

The thing is I know it works.  Once you are out of debt, you can't stop there.  Once you are wealthy, you can't stop there.  Once you are a millionaire, you can't stop there because when you stop, Our Father stops.
