We may be sure that, where there is is a lack of the fullness of God, it is due to man’s lack of faith & obedience.

The truth is, many of us are stuck at the gate, waiting for God to give us something that’s already ours. We’re waiting for joy when God has given us the power to rejoice. We’re waiting for encouragement to come to us when, in fact, the encouragement we need is locked in an opportunity God has given us to encourage someone else.

Gratitude reinterprets the situations in our lives, beginning with the baseline acknowledgement that we don’t deserve any of what we’ve been given. It’s all a product of God’s grace. The eyesight that allowed you to read that last sentence, the mental abilities that allowed you to comprehend it, the manual dexterity that enabled me to type it—all are products of God’s grace. The breaths you took while reading the last paragraph—all of them were borrowed. When you start with this frame of reference, it’s hard to be discontent. But discontentment is empowered by a sense of entitlement. And there is an inverse relationship between gratitude and entitlement. When entitlement is high, gratitude is low. When gratitude is high, entitlement is low. Gratitude begins where our sense of entitlement ends.
John Wesley
Do you not know that God entrusted you with that money (all above what buys necessities for your families) to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to help the stranger, the widow, the fatherless; and, indeed, as far as it will go, to relieve the wants of all mankind? How can you, how dare you, defraud the Lord, by applying it to any other purpose?

He will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain watering the earth. (Hos. 6:3) How does a person receive rain? Not by prying it loose from the sky but just by watching it fall, by standing in the downpour, by thanking Him for opening up the floodgates and sending what He knows we need and can’t get for ourselves, yet what He so faithfully, regularly, and graciously gives.

You may never know that Jesus is all you need, until Jesus is all you have.

“Father sat down on the edge of the narrow bed. “Corrie,” he began gently, “when you and I go to Amsterdam-when do I give you your ticket?”
I sniffed a few times, considering this.
“Why, just before we get on the train.”
“Exactly. And our wise Father in heaven knows when we’re going to need things, too. Don’t run out ahead of Him, Corrie. When the time comes that some of us will have to die, you will look into your heart and find the strength you need-just in time.”

Those who are readiest to trust God without other evidence than His Word always receive the greatest number of visible evidences of His love.

Christ tore the heavens, and came down to us. He then returned through the heavens ensuring that they remain open. The rent heavens have been rent for ever, and have never been sewn up again, neither by a needle-wielding Satan or any other hand. Through that open heaven the Holy Spirit then began to descend – the latter rain (Acts 2). The heavens are no more like brass, They are open. Hell cannot impose sanctions, and blockade the kingdom of God, nor deprive its citizens.
