Freely Give

Those who give when they are asked to, have waited too long. – Richard Murray

The woman anointed Jesus’ head not because he asked, but because she wanted too. WOW!

We’ve all heard the refrain “I would’ve helped if you asked me.”  We’ve probably used it ourselves a time or two. But the true meaning of servant is just that – to provide service. An honorable servant looks for ways to assist or lend a hand or support. It’s not an inconvenience, not a return of a favor, nor a deed to show our good works, it’s just an act of love expressed from a heart of gratitude. God, who has given us all things should NEVER have to ask us for anything nor should His church have to beg us. For if we truly understand all He has done for us, all He has spared us from, and all He has promised us, the love we have for Him and His church should have us almost tripping over ourselves to express it in giving our best to Him. The next move is ours!

Until Monday…..
