And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19
“There is no scarcity. There is no shortage. No lack of love, of compassion, of joy in the world. There is enough. There is more than enough. Only fear and greed make us think otherwise. No one need starve. There is enough land and enough food. No one need die of thirst. There is enough water. No one need live without mercy. There is no end to grace. And we are all instruments of grace. The more we give it, the more we share it, the more we use it, the more God makes. There is no scarcity of love. There is plenty. And always more.”
Rosemarie Freeney Harding (1930–2004) in Remnants: A Memoir of Spirit, Activism, and Mothering by Rosemarie Freeney Harding with Rachel Elizabeth Harding (Duke University Press, 2015) ix.
Many in the world live under the cloud of scarcity. Fear and greed hold them captive. So how to we help them break free? We do it by living how God made us to live, as instruments of grace.
As Harding rightly says, “The more we give it, the more we share it, the more we use it, the more God makes.” That’s His abundant economy works.
Today we are doing two things at GTP. We have a cohort of 140 people going through On Demand JOE from 34 countries and are zooming with them this morning. Pray for rich interaction.
Then, as we retreat together prior to ministering in Belize, pray with us that God will make us instruments of grace starting here and spreading throug the Caribbean.
Make it so Lord, for the GTP team, and all who are reading this.
