munchlings on nourishing food, receiving spiritual food

thank you guys for your prayers! I got through all 3 tests fine today and it is all because of God's blessing upon my life. I am currently munching on some dutch gingerbread cookies that rorence gave me : ) when you receive something really lovely, you start to consider how awesome generosity is , and how great it is when its bestowed upon you. i think rorence is a great example of someone with a really generous heart (NOT just about cookies of course hahaha) so i have a lot to learn from the ppl around me.

today, my devotional was on 2 corinthians 9. This is something I have been praying about: generosity. How much should i give while i'm on exchange? constant negative cash outflow doesn't help in growing generosity. I always have to remind myself that I can never give more than God gives me ... ( although is that how i'm supposed to think about it ? hahah sounds like i'm comforting myself that i'm always at an advantage). buuut yeh, compared to the gift that God has freely given to me through JEsus, the gift of Salvation, nothing i ever give can compare.

I just want to be someone who joyfully gives, EVEN while im povo and EVEN while i'm on exchange because that means in ALL situations, not just when i'm rich, I will be combatting the little demon called greed within human nature.

2 corinthians 9
Generosity Encouraged

6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 9 As it is written:
“They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor;
their righteousness endures forever.”[a]

Pray that I will generously and joyfully give, EVEN TO MY DISADVANTAGE because our mission in this world is to love LOVE and let God's light and grace be displayed through our actions.
my friend's actions today spoke louder than any words.. even though it was something small, it was enough to influence and affect me, inspiring a desire to better myself as well, and strive to be more Christ-like everyday.
