God's Nature to Give

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son; that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.  (John 3:16)

Thoughts: God loves us and gave Himself for us.  He came down for us.  He sacrificed Himself for us.  The nature of God is to give.  In response to Him, we also should give.  In following Him, we also should give for Him.  To not give is to reject His way.  To choose selfishness over generosity is to choose not to follow Him.  God gives us all we have.  He gives us life.  He gives us time.  He gives us ability and minds to understand.  God loves to give and wants us to follow in His way.

Prayer: Lord, help me to let go of things and by opening my hand, find you fill it up again so I may give more.
