The best things in life are free......

Its time to pause and take a look at where we are and where we are coming from.
God's abundant blessings are in the realms of the spiritual. God has given us His grace, His mercy and His favor, and poured out on us numerous spiritual blessings. But as our lives speed by, we find we often fail to thank Him for these. 
Sometimes those blessings come in the form of people, families, our circle of friends, co-workers, and the community around us. All of these people are a part of who we are. Our lives would be far poorer without them. But frequently in our "fast forward" lives, we neglect to tell them how much they mean to us. 
Sometimes those blessings are material or financial needs. Proverbs 10:22 says, "It is the blessing of the LORD that makes rich, and He adds no sorrow to it." God is the source of all of our material and financial blessings. But, sadly, in the midst of our busy lives, we sometimes forget where they ultimately came from.
I am grateful for God's provision unto me. I am thankful for my wonderful family. I am thankful for all of the people God has surrounded me with. And I am most grateful to Him for my calling. Most of all, I thank God for the assurance of an abundant life in Jesus Christ, and the promise of an eternity in heaven. 
Glory to God.

  1. This was a very deep message that the world needs to hear. Prayer and thanks go hand in hand with each other. Our gifts and our lives belong to the master and our mission is to walk in his light to help mankind. We already have the tools to make a difference, step out on faith. God bless your continued anointing. Enough said, TO GOD BE THE GLORY. HALLELUJAH!!!! AQ

  3. Every good and perfect gift comes from above with whom there is no variableness or shadow of turning. He gave freely......to all mankind. What behoves us is to offer the investements we have receive to nurture his things..........like He gave Adam in those days. Stay blessed my brother.!
