Proverbs 11:24-25 24It is possible to give freely and become more wealthy, but those who are stingy will lose everything. 25The generous prosper and are satisfied; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed. Theses two verses present a paradox. We become richer by being generous. The world says to hold on to as much as possible, but God blesses those who give freely of their possessions, time, and energy. God blesses those that have obedient faith. When we give, God supplies us with more so that we can give more. When we learn to be submissive to complete trust in God, when we can be obediently faithful, we begin to receive the blessings, the divine favor, the heavenly rewards that God wants to give to us, His children.

I'm finding myself a little off track in the faith department lately. Anyone ever start to feel that way? I thought maybe starting some bible quotes would be helpful to remind me of his plan and not mine. If you have one feel free to place or post them.
