THE GOD WHO COMFORTS & PROVIDES
A poem and essay by ILMA
What are you struggling with nowadays?
Are you discouraged and feeling down today?
The Lord lifts those who are tired and weary
He will comfort those who are feeling dreary.
God loves those who are righteous and godly
He guides them all and brings them victory
He opens the eyes of the blind and lets them see
Believe and commit your life to Christ and you’ll be free
________________________________________
When we are weighed down by many challenges in our lives, it is natural to feel discouraged. When one becomes a believer and commits to Jesus, the tendency to follow one’s nature changes. When we become born again, we see things new because the Lord transform the way we think and see things. While we were still unbelievers and living in sin, we become blind to see the truth. Only God’s Holy Spirit can open the eyes of the blind, we cannot do it in our own. It is very essential for a Christian to deepen their relationship with the Lord so they can be set free. The Lord loves all his creation but most especially those who lead a godly life. He comforts and provides for all his people.

For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you. -2 Corinthians 9:10(NLT)
HARVEST OF GENEROSITY
A poem and essay by ILMA
Whenever you are blessed with bounty
God expects you to give generously
He provides all that you need in this life
He increases your means so you can abide.
He will shower you with blessings
Do you live your life as an offering?
He plants different seeds of kindness
So you can reap a harvest of goodness.

Do you have any idea why God provides for your needs despite all kinds of disobedience and ungratefulness from his people? Because that is who he is. He cannot act out of character and be unloving or stingy to his children. Just like our earthly parents would die for their children just to provide for all their needs, God would do the same and more. He loves us unconditionally and gave his own Son to free us from sin.
Paul tells us that God provides for all our needs just as he provides seed for the farmer and bread for them to eat. He promises an increase in resources to those who are faithful and a bounty and overflow of harvest of generosity is what he expects from his people.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for your provision and blessings.
REFLECTION
Why do you think God gives us more when we give to others?
