if you knew

“But what I do have I give you.” Acts 3:6

Sometimes what we have seems so little.
Even in our own eyes five small stones in a shepherd’s
bag seems like nothing to talk about.
So often we wish that we could give more.
It would be so amazing to be able to pay everybody’s
debts, find a good job for everybody and to take all
their pain away.
But we only are believers saved by grace
and only pastors ministering by faith , only a church,
miraculously existing.
Often our best advice for people is to
seek first the kingdom of God. Mt.6:33
Maybe the saying “God helps those, who help themselves “,
isn’t that wrong after all?
Haven’t we seen time after time again people prosper
simply because they honor the Word of God in their
decisions.
Godliness is profitable for all things. I Tim.4:8
How could somebody be disappointed when they expect
only something temporal , and something eternal is given
to them.
Jesus said to the Samaritan woman:
“If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says
to you…you would have asked…and he would have
given to you.” John 54:10
I look at the multitudes in Istanbul and think,
“If you only knew who we are, and who sent us,
you would ask”.
