IF GOD WROTE YOU A LETTER
I supplied for Israel in miraculous ways, providing comfort and relief in a manner none ever thought possible. I want to do the same for you. There is so much I have already given. There are so many gifts you have received. Don’t lose sight of them or think they are insignificant. Receive them. Enjoy them. Share them. I want to bless you in ways you never thought possible. I want you to shake your head in disbelief and be at a loss for words when trying to describe my provision.
But as I bless you—don’t hoard it. Rejoice and offer the good news with others. Keep your hands open and share my blessing with others. When you cling tightly to what I’ve provided and keep it for yourself, I can’t replenish it. But if your hands are open, I will continue to fill them. I want your blessings to flow like rushing water. Share, sing, and celebrate what I have done and what I am doing.
NEXT STEP
Don’t be afraid to laugh today. Too often we stifle it. Let it out and be joyful. God is good! Let others know through your smile, joy, and laughter.
