All We Have...(Comes From God)

Am I truly willing to love (aka give)with all I have?This, the challenge/conviction from this morning's reading...A few excerpts below This morning is gleaming and shiny as a new silver or gold coinbegging to be spent/invested! So many avenues, snares and benefits for both money and timewhere every day is an investment for eternity! Ps.16:11 You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Heb.4:13 KJVNeither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.NIVNothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. The Creator of life is the Supreme and Sovereign Giver (and withholder) of all we have or want! Rom.8:28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Nothing is hidden from the One with Whom we have to doNo thought or motive's intention escapes His thorough view Not one measure that we possess , not one means we applaudIs secured by our own success; All we have comes from God No one is exempt from the tender love that wrought God's graceGod gave Himself and did not send another in His placeTo bear surrender's uttermost; death on a cross, so grimTo leave no room for mortal boast; All we have comes from Him No part of God's authority is for a select fewForbid we have no fear of He with Whom we have to doBut, weigh all that transcends the grave with holy diligenceBecause all that we have is by the Giver's providence Pray, we wholly rely on He who supplies our needPray we despise the enemy that thrives on fear and greedFor all we have is given, not to claim as our own Else earth's foretaste of Heaven would not make the Giver known   Oh God, deliver us from evil that subtly takes root The love of money; a devil that blights both tree and fruitOh God, the Giver of our days, with Whom we have to doInstill in us love's hymn of praise; all we have comes from You So then, with all we have from You, pray, with all that we haveOf might and means, we purpose to invest beyond the grave Aware that life composes what death cannot circumvent When the Giver discloses what we did with what He lent © Janet Martin A few more excerpts from the ending of the bookGeorge Muller of Bristol...to both cheer and challenge all who seek to liveto give without counting the cost!
