But God's free gift is not at all to be compared to the trespass...For if many died through one man's falling away--his lapse, his offense--much more profusely did God's grace and the free gift [that comes] through...Jesus Christ, abound and overflow to and for [the benefit of] many.
– Romans 5:15
If you ever, ever need someone to tell you how to turn things around... the go to person is: God. Believe me, He's an expert on the subject. He has suffered more losses than anyone who's ever lived. True?
Just take a quick second to think about it.
He lost Lucifer, His top-ranked, most anointed angel. And He lost at least a third of His other angels as well when Lucifer fell.
Then He lost the man and woman He had created (Adam & Eve); and because He'd given them dominion over the earth, when He lost them, He lost it too.
It don't matter which way you slice the pie,(mmmm Pie!!) that's a lot of real estate lost!!!
Yet, in spite of all that, God is not a loser. (Go ahead, put the "L" up to your forehead, you know you want to...haha)
He's the greatest winner of all time.
Do you know why?
Because He knows how to turn things around. He knows how to use the law of giving and receiving to transform losses into gains. Yes!!!
"Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over" (Luke 6:38).
That's Crazy? He has the Power to redeem His things, those things He lost.
He had all wisdom and all power available to Him. Out of all that, the law of giving is what He chose to use. (What??)
He gave the most irreplaceable thing He had: His only Son (Jesus). Then He backed that gift with His own faith. And when the law of giving and receiving had done its work, the Almighty God received not only His first begotten Son, but millions of other sons and daughters as well.
That Preaches!!! Good Preachin' White-Boy!!
Don't despair over your losses. Redeem them the same way God redeemed His. Give and put the most powerful principle in the universe to work for you.
Sow... You need finances, sow finances... You need love, sow love... You need help, sow serving. God is on your side and wants the very best for your life!!!
Until next time, chew on this Soul Food.
Blessings,
Burk
