We humans are always good at worrying over something.
Think it's our passion. lolx!
When we worry about small things, in our hearts and minds it become
so big that unconsciously, it's already teaching us not to enjoy life anymore.
We can spend all day...all night worrying until we get sick to the core.
I used to worry alot. Maybe I got it from my mom. Even now, she worries
about not having money, money , money.
This part of worrying about money sickens me.
The thought for years even affects the way I tithe...
Yeah.. for now..all I can give to the Lord is just an offering. Pathetic huh?
But
somewhere at the back of my mind , there's a thought pinching inside of me that
says I should really tithe because it's for my own good.
I know. I know!
I should let go.
And I do need lotsa of revelations on this.
Do I need to struggle?
I told Abba, "Abba, I'm your child...I am blessed without that tithe, right?"
I am waiting for His answer ...for the meantime let me pray..
"Jesus, I don't like this attitude in me about tithing.
Please take over it and free me from this bondage..
If I run out of time and too slow to learn, pleeeeeeaaase RELEASE me
from this. I will tithe without having thoughts of trying to impress you
like saying " Look Lord, I tithed! You should bless me too!" ..
I don't like that attitude Lord.
When I tithe.. I want it to come from heart and says,
"Jesus, here's all what I have to give you for everything that
you've done in my life..I take you as my partner in life now and
please take this as an appreciation and a bond between you and me.
This I pray in Jesus mighty name....
AMEN!"
For the meantime, let me share this wonderful daily devotional
from Ps Joseph Prince with you.
Hope it will set you free from any bondage of "worrying" in any
areas of your life.
Me? I don't need to worry about thie "tithing" issue in me.
For my Abba, should know what to do.
Gently He will guide and lead me...For sure He will do the same to you.
Good morning everyone.
"How Much More Will God Take Care Of You!"
Matthew 6:26
26Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
Perched on a tree branch, two birds were observing passers-by rushing from one place to another. Looking at their faces, one bird asked the other, “Why is man so full of worries and cares?” The other bird answered, “Maybe they don’t have a heavenly Father like we do.”
I believe that the Lord made birds to tell us that we are of more value than many birds put together. In Matthew 10:29, Jesus said, “Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin?” Then, in Luke 12:6, He said, “Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins?” If you do the math, you will realize that these sparrows are so cheap that you can buy four of them for two copper coins, and you get one thrown in for free!
Sparrows are common creatures in Israel. Yet, not even one of these cheap birds falls to the ground without the Father’s knowledge. (Matthew 10:29) Not one of them is forgotten before Him. (Luke 12:6) So will He forget you who are of more value than all these birds put together?
Jesus said, “Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them.” And if your heavenly Father feeds the birds of the air, how much more will He feed you, His precious, beloved child!
“Why don’t I see the supply then?” you may ask.
The answer is worry. That is why Jesus also said, “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’… For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.” (Matthew 6:31–32)
Beloved, if your heavenly Father cares for cheap, common birds, and feeds them every day, how much more will He care for you, His dear, precious child! Let your heart be at rest as you hear Him say to you, “Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.” (Matthew 10:31)

Hi Veronica. Thanks for dropping by my blog. are you able to download mp3s from your side?
ReplyDeleteI want to share with u some stuffs that can uplift and strengthen ur faith no matter what happens in your life.I feel you need to hear it.
I , too had gone thru alot of bad times in my life.
@years ago , my dad and sister died in just one month time. It was soo devastating but God pulled me thru.
He was always there no matter what. I don't know how He did it but, I can just smile.
Veronica, that too shall pass.
And remember, it's not about us.
It's not about our failures, heartaches and depressions that matter in this world.
It's all about Jesus.
God will never leave , He will never forsake you.
As I'm typing this write now, I am speaking in tongues to your situation.
