CALLED TO FREELY GIVE

When you know and trust that everything you have is from the LORD, it’s easier to freely give.

There will always be people in need of our help.

Take time to decide in your own heart how you can help them.

Every time we choose to give, we choose obedience.

Obedience that glorifies the LORD.

A poem inspired by Deuteronomy 15:10.

When we truly understand,

that everything we’re given,

comes from the LORD,

and the bounty that is Heaven,

then reaching out to others,

to share our earthy gifts,

is a calling we should answer

with praise upon our lips.

For the LORD blesses the willing,

who humbly choose to serve,

sharing everything they have,

with the needful of this world.

When we look upon the beggar,

and see the face of Christ,

We fulfill His mission,

and our purpose in this life.

Blessed are those who answer,

and with mercy follow through,

walking in His footsteps,

and clinging to the truth,

that we are all God’s children,

He loves us just the same.

Every time we choose obedience,

We glorify His name.

Faithful Recovery is a publication for those entering and continuing their recovery journey.

Addiction robs you of peace; your life revolves around the very thing destroying you. I know. I lived it for over thirty years. Addiction didn’t get the last word in my story; God did. He wrote a new story from the ashes. He’s waiting to write yours too.

If you’re struggling with addiction of any kind, you’re welcome here. You’re not alone in your journey.
