Today’s prayer
Written prayerFather, make my soul a soul that blesses others, not merely with prayers and well wishes but someone who gives liberally, cheerfully, and generously to the poor and needy. It is by blessing others that we receive a blessing back from God. It is his blessings on the good deeds of our hands that make us fat, rich, and prosperous in the Lord. As we water and refresh others with the pure water of God’s word we are like an inexhaustible fountain of mercies. God refreshes us as we refresh others; He pours back into us what we give to others. It’s the law of reciprocity. The more we give the more we receive. The more we bless others the more we are blessed. I can’t out give God. God wants us to give away what we have been blessed with. It all belongs to God anyway. I am just a steward of his blessings - a funnel of blessings. When God knows I am a good fountain of blessings he will see that I never run dry. Teach me to be liberal, generous and cheerful in my giving. Help me be a fountain of blessings that refreshes others.
In Jesus name, Amen.
