“God blesses each one of us with different gifts that are proportionate with our abilities and our surroundings. His ultimate goal is to bless us in order that we may be channels of His blessings to the world. Material prosperity is far from God’s greatest blessing. His generosity, however, is manifested in His grace, in His forgiveness, and in the outpouring of His Spirit. As we receive of His spiritual gifts, we are called to impart them to those around us. John 15:12-13 reminds us that a self sacrificing life lived for the benefit of others is the greatest expression of love–God’s greatest gift to us.”

This idea is transforming the hearts of Honduran leaders this week, and it’s valuable for all of us. Rather than focus on what we don’t have, let us be faithful with whatever God has proportionately measured out to us. In so doing, this will often position us for further provision from God and cause us to be channels of blessing to the world.
