The Gift of Supply

Praise be to you, Lord, for your great and gracious heart. Praise you that you look down and see every single person on this earth, all at the same time, and that you are aware of each one’s needs, motives, desires, suffering, rebellion and anger.

I praise you that you work in the life of each person--believer or not--to supply their needs in an ever-flowing river of good: “… your Father in heaven…causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.” (Matt. 5:45).

You bring each one help on every level: “The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” (Psa. 34:18).

And most importantly you offer the opportunity for all to enter your Kingdom: “when he [the Holy Spirit] comes, he will convict the world [everyone] of sin, righteousness, and judgment…” (John 16:8-10) and "...whosoever believes should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16b).

Whoever means whoever, the invitation is open to all, eternal life is available to all who are willing to believe in what Jesus did and make Him their Lord. What a wonderful gift. If you haven't accepted that gift, I encourage you to do so! Answer the door!
