“Do not let your peace depend on what is outside you; you will see that our Lord will supply for everything when you are satisfied with Him alone, and you will find more in Him than all creatures together.”
Claude de la Colombière (1641-1682) in a letter as recounted in The Quotable Saint, ed. by R. E. Guiley (New York, 2002) 197.
Do we live and give like we believe God is our supply and satisfaction? When we don’t, our fearful hoarding, materialistic spending, and/or lack of generosity are likely symptoms of spiritual heart trouble. When we do, we take hold of peace and are positioned for generosity. This week in Korea we have been blessed to meet Christian leaders who exhibit peace rooted in the belief God is their supply and satisfaction.
