Blessed to Bless

Thanksgiving Wednesday

"God will make you rich enough so that you can always be generous. Your generosity will produce thanksgiving to God because of us. What you do to serve others not only provides for the needs of God’s people, but also produces more and more prayers of thanksgiving to God." (Paul writing to the Corinthian Church at 2 Corinthians 9:11-12)

God's plan for us is a cycle of thanksgiving to Him, our Heavenly Father first through the love of Jesus then on the same love which lives in the people who led us to Christ, those who pray for us, those who help us in our times of need and those who disciple us as the Holy Spirit leads them.

As our good, good Father continues to bless and nurture us through our growing life of thanksgiving, we are then able to stand on our own, and eventually be a teacher, mentor, encourager and leader ourselves. And the cycle of thanksgiving continues, ever since love first came down and showed us how to love others even when they are most unlovable.
