Giving to Get

We gotta give in order to get...

This is not only a prescription for daily living that most successful folks use, it’s also a spiritual principle. 

“It is by forgiving that one is forgiven.” St Francis Prayer... 

However, like most things that are good for us and seem easy to do, there is some “fine print” attached. 

Now while it makes sense that when we are helpful to others, we are usually helped in some form or fashion in return. 

But how about this? 

We also have to FORGIVE others in order to RECEIVE forgiveness! 

Now while that sounds like not so much fun, it truly is a freeing exercise that will release us from the bondage of anger, guilt, and resentment. 

Go on…give it a try….

and as always, don’t believe me, but …CHECK your experience… 

“We go to him in a helpful and forgiving spirit, confessing our former ill feeling and expressing our regret.” Big Book pg. 77 

Lord, let us forgive others so that we can be free to receive forgiveness for our sins and mistakes, AMEN. 

“And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” Mark 11:25 

Have a blessed day Y’all!

Helping Others Helps You

 Helping others helps yourself… 

Whenever we help someone, we are helping ourselves. 

Helping others is an invitation to give. 

It’s an insight into where we are spiritually with our willingness to help others. 

Finally, this is an incentive to look past our needs and wants to help another person. 

So while we are built spiritually to give and help others, are we actually willing and able?..

Check your experience… 

“It is not the matter of giving that is in question, but when and how to give.” Big Book pg. 98

Lord, thank You for giving so much to us in blessings, favor, and grace, please let us give back by giving to others what we can when we can, AMEN. 

“He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward him for what he has done.” Proverbs 19:17 

Have a blessed day Y’all!

One Heart

 One heart…. 

We see a lot of credit, responsibility, and focus given to our heart. 

It’s the source of our spirit, the keeper of our innermost thoughts, and the driving force of our will. 

It would make sense then to pay attention to what influences and tries to go into our heart. 

Trying to manage our heart alone is futile. 

There is simply too much worldly clamor and influences and we become easily overwhelmed, but turning our hearts and minds over to the care of God enables us to be free and protects our hearts from the chaos. 

How are you protecting your heart?..

Check your experience… 

“The central fact of our lives today is the absolute certainty that our Creator has entered into our hearts and lives in a way which is indeed miraculous.” Big Book pg. 25 

Lord, let us examine our hearts daily to be sure we have it tuned into Your will and Word, AMEN. 

“I will give them one heart and I will put a new spirit within them; I will remove the hearts of stone from their bodies and I will give them tender hearts,” Ezekiel 11:19

Have a blessed day Y’all!
