The Grands Letter (GLJ)
Gene L. Jeffries, Th.D. on July 14, 2016 7:14 am (CST)Dear Grands,
2 Corinthians 9:6-8, “Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly,
and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7 Each one must do just as he
has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful
giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all
sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed…”
I always take the Word of God as truthful at face value. Many years ago, Nana and I
learned to give beyond the tithe. We didn’t have much money, but we knew we had
more than most in the world. So, we decided to give to support those who were giving
of themselves to reach others for Christ. When Paul said (above) that the LORD “is
able to make all grace abound to you,” he wasn’t kidding. We have discovered that
the more we give, the more we have to give. We want to challenge you to pick out
someone who is seeking to reach others for Christ and share with them. It doesn’t
have to be a huge amount, just what the LORD leads you to give. You will be blessed!
Love you each and every one,
Nana & Dado III
