About how God sees everything we give… Acts 10:1 At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what
was known as the Italian Regiment. 2 He and all his family were devout and
God-fearing; he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly. 3
One day at about three in the afternoon he had a vision. He distinctly saw an
angel of God, who came to him and said, "Cornelius!" 4 Cornelius
stared at him in fear. "What is it, Lord?" he asked. The angel
answered, "Your prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial
offering before God. (NIV) God keeps a minute by minute record of all you do. We do not know how our
record is stored, but to keep His minute by minute record, God looks into the
heart of every person who gives. God records who we gave our gifts to and He
records what was in our heart when we did the giving. There will come a point in
your life when all you have given and all you have taken away will be shown to
you. Perhaps we must all confront the question of whether we want to actually
see what has been recorded about us by God. Do we want to see all we gave in our
life? Do we want to see all we have taken away? Do we want to see the
opportunities we had for giving we then passed over in our selfishness? We need
not worry about these questions if we remember how much Christ gave for us, and
we need not worry if we commit our life to giving to others as He has given to
us. |
