For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity. Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.
Today's Thought: Our financial investments in the work of the Lord speaks of our heart for Him.
The primary reason Paul wrote to the church at Philippi was to thank them for their generosity in supporting him even when he was in prison. Philippi and Rome were separated by around eight hundred miles. The church at Philippi sent their support even if they know how far it would be.
Giving can be very sensitive. Christ talks about money several times. When we cling to the resources that we do have, we are missing out on so many good things. We miss the opportunity to take part of the Lord's ministry.
God does not need our help for His work. That's the truth. He is not dependent on us to do His work. But God wants to us to give and take part in the ministry of the gospel. Giving should not be a burden or an obligation, but it should be an opportunity to take part in eternal gains.
