You Can't Outgive God...

I heard the following story from a friend a few days ago and asked permission to post it on my blog. While I wanted to give her credit, she opted to remain anonymous.

I've been reminded many times about how God will always take care of our needs, but this story truly touched my heart. Especially with Thanksgiving drawing near her in the United States. I hope the story taps on your heart as well.

"I had something really neat happen today. I normally would share something like this, by it was clearly God at work and awesome.

We have a missionary friend who was running behind on her support. She's been on my heart since last month, so I talked to my husband and asked if we could help her out. (We don't have much excess right now since we needed to replace our furnace and chimney liner last month.) Anyway, as I sat down to do some book-keeping today, I wrote out a check and placed it in our mail box.

No sooner did I do that, our mail person stopped by our box and guess what she placed inside-- a check I had forgotten that we would be receiving for exactly double the amount that I had just sent to the missionary!

It was as if it was straight from Heaven to remind me that I can never out give God. What a wonderful thought to dwell on as Thanksgiving draws closer."


May God's love fill your soul and heart and may you bless others with your knowledge by putting it in action.
