God Multiplies…

So I hope you read the amazing things that happened yesterday… but I have one more thing to add:

Part B of God’s Solution: Last night a close friend handed me an envelope and told me not to open it until later. He told me  to use it at my discretion… for living expenses if I needed to. Well, that made me a bit curious but I figured it would be MAYBE $50. When I finally opened it, there was an amazing note of inspiration and support, along with 5 $100 dollar bills. I was absolutely floored and completely speechless. What the heck did I do to deserve that? I was so moved, so thankful, so emotional, so… well, humbled. I cannot believe that one person… no scratch that… so many people around me believe in me, support me, love me, and are willing to make monumental sacrifices for me!! That’s just unheard of in the secular world.. I mean, WHO DOES THAT? I was just thinking back at my old life, my old friends, my old world. That would NEVER have happened. Now, don’t get me wrong, there are a handful of amazing people that come from my past that are in my life, but this… THIS was someone that didn’t know me as long, as well, and simply acted on faith… on God’s word… and didn’t think about what it would do for THEM.

Wow, God’s people are beautiful… and for those of us responding to His call, He MULTIPLIES His blessings and provides more than you could possibly imagine!

 “Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness ”

2 Corinthians 9:10 (NIV)

{If you give God your time, he multiplies it. If you give him your money or energy, he multiplies those too. It’s like planting seeds. Farmers know that seeds must be given away – sacrificed by being buried in the ground – to do any good. If you keep a seed in a sack, it does no good, but if you plant it, it multiplies. For example, when you plant just one watermelon seed, you get a bunch of watermelons with hundreds of seeds in them. In the same way, God multiplies whatever you give him.}
