For God so loved that He gave . . .(John 3:16) — Is there any word more powerful than giving?

Thanksgiving. Forgiving. Care-giving. Life-giving. Everything that matters in living comes down to giving.The love of God always gives, always breaks itself and gives—to give joy. God seeks His own glory only because He vows that He is the God who gives—gives what we need most.

And believe it: He is most glorified in us when we are most enjoying Him—and giving others the joy of Him.

Go slow. Be God-struck. Grant grace. Live Truth.

Give Thanks. Love well. Re – joy, re- joy, ‘re- joys’ again
