Overflowing Blessing

My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:19, NKJV


"A wrong idea of reality leads to a wrong response to life. If we think God is stern and angry and despotic, we will live frightened. If we think that God is miserly and stingy, we will live feeling gypped. If we think that God is abstract and impersonal, we will live aimlessly and trivially.

The gospel teaches us that in every way God supplies -- he overflows with blessing and salvation. In touch with that reality we live with a sense of abandonment and walk with a confident gaiety, freely trusting, freely hoping, freely loving."
