This time of year, creation is full of beauty! A sense of awe. God's creation on display in the shifting of seasons. Trees bursting forth with color. The sunset invites us to linger there, astounded by its setting and rising. Sun beamed skies full of brilliant colors. What a generous gift from the Master Artist. Given for us to enjoy and delight in. God's nature is generosity. He loves to gives His kids good gifts!
One of the greatest gifts is His Spirit, "And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you." John 14: 16-17
His presence will be in us and with us. An eternal gift. His presence bears fruit.....love, joy peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. (Galatians 5:22-23) . Could we open our hearts to His generosity and allow Him to do the deep inner work, so that we will bear fruit that changes the world? May we be people of generosity and give away the gift of His presence.
God's Everlasting Love
"What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?" Romans 8:31-32
Generosity
by Tracie Tackett
"This gift is for you,"
he says!
You feel seen, heard,
noticed, and loved.
Receiving, opening,
eyes wide open
What is it?
Curiosity peaks.
Generosity shared.
Oh, it's the perfect gift!
God is the greatest
gift giver.
His gifts are intangible.
Touching the soul,
deeply and richly.
They are eternal.
The greatest is LOVE.
Can we count all the
gifts he gives?
Creation gives us a visible view
that point to the Gift
Giver.
God's nature is to give.
Gifts that transform us
to be more like Him.
He gave the ultimate gift,
His Son.
Who can fathom?
The gift that changed
the world.
Generosity abounding.
What gift does your soul
need to open today?
Pause.
Listen.
Notice.
He is inviting you.
Receive.
Look around.
Maybe it is time to
receive and give.
Who longs for this gift?
When God's gifts
are received and given.....
Beauty abounds.
Truth prevails.
Goodness reigns!
Holy Pause Reflection~
Set aside one hour in nature and practice silence and solitude?
Read the scripture verses and poem again and again? Romans 8:31-32
What resonates with you or where do you feel resistance?
Listen. Notice. Pause. Be Still.
What gift does your soul need to receive today?
Will you give away the gift of His presence this next week to someone around you?
Praying for your holy pause with God.
