Part of Luke 12:48 says:
For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required
In the message Bible part of Luke 12:48 (MSG) says:
Great gifts mean great responsibilities; greater gifts, greater responsibilities!
In Exodus, God told Moses:
Exodus 4:2 (KJV)
And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand?
God has given each of us different abilities and blessings. However, if we do not use what He has given us how can He Bless it.
What has God given you that you can use to make this world a better place:
If we have much Love we must give much Love.
If we have much compassion, we must give much compassion.
If we have much forgiveness, we must share much forgiveness.
If we have much money we must give much money.
If we have much Joy and Peace, we must give much Joy and Peace.
What do you have that you can give. Is it a smile, a word of encouragement or some of the things listed above? What do you think you have little of that in the hand of the Father God can multiply into much?
Because the other part of this is that no matter how little of anything you think you have, if you use it to help others it will multiply.
In Matthew 25 is the story about the distribution of talents to three individuals. When the master returned he found the one that only had one talent had done nothing with it. He took it and gave it to the one who had done the most with what he had.
If you have a little Love, give it and it will grow.
If you have a little compassion, give it and it will grow.
If you have a little money, give it and it will grow.
My point being: use what you should bring the Love of Jesus to others.
No truer statement has ever been said than:
“PEOPLE WILL NOT CARE WHAT YOU SAY, UNTIL THEY SEE HOW MUCH YOU CARE!
There are so many ways to touch the lives around us every single day.
We should not think that it is the big revivals and the mega churches only that are making a difference. They are doing their part and we should plug into the life of a church and be planted there.
But…..
It is in the ordinary days and the normal course of life that we can touch the struggling, the hurting, the successful, the untouchable, the creations of the Lord God Almighty.
There is so much power in showing the Love of Jesus Christ to the world by our daily walk and example.
WHAT DO YOU HAVE?
The kingdom of God is within you. Share that kingdom, which is Joy, Love and Power in the Holy Spirit, with others.
When God asked Moses what he had in his hand the answer was a staff. God demonstrated His Power to Moses by turning the staff into a serpent and then back into a staff. This is the same staff that Moses stretched out over the Red Sea and it rolled back.
When we release our self and what is in our hand to the Lord God Almighty, that small thing can become the thing of miracles.
What God Touches changes everything.

Love, MeMaw
