Warm
God sees you as you truly are, - a holy child of light:I see you strong and whole. I see you blessed and prospered. I see you courageous and confident. I see you capable and successful. I see you free from all limitations or bondage of any kind. I see you as the spiritually perfect being you truly are
This warm my heart for the rest of my day...
Yet, i feel sorry that He sees me as a perfect person but i feel i m inadequate, timid and incapable...
I feel heavy when i saw the words...
I m not that perfect as He sees me...
However, He love me as who i m...
He love not just my strengths, he love my weaknesses as well...
He love every inch of me, He care every single area of my life....
Happy are those who do not need to live a life of pleasing the world...
Happy are those who who have a Father who love him/her unconditionally...
Happy are those who have a Father who love him/her no matter what they'd done...
All the person need to do is to open his/her heart, receive Him into their live...
He love you as you who are...
He love you more than anything...
He care you every seconds, minutes, hours...
He cares everything in your life...
Happy m i that i have Christ..

Motive
This few days when i did my daily devotion...
a lot of Words of giving( including care for others), blessing came up to me...
One thing that strike me the most is the motive of you doing everything... such as giving....
When you donate your money what is your motive behind it?
When you do this kind of action, what is is your motive?
When u dress up nicely today, what is your motive?
Why you want to get high marks in your exam?
Why you want to buy this branded stuff?
Why? Why?Why?
Have u ever think of that?
Some ppl donate money to the poor is because they wan the whole society know that they are good people, they want the popularity, respect...
Some ppl wan to dress up nicely because they want to get praises from people, they want to be the center of attention of ppl...
When i think about motive behind my every thoughts, action....
I was surprise that mostly my thoughts and action is to please myself and people around me...n there is only some portion of pleasing God...
It's really a big red sign for me....
I have to examine my motive in everything i do, i think of...
I have to put right of my motive....
Not pleasing myself, anybody in this world, but God....
He the Creator of the world, see the heart of man not their appearance...
When you give to the poor, think of your motive first, it's i wan to appear to be good people or i do it for GOD?
What you treasure the most, is where your heart is
As what you think in your heart, so you are.
Once grace each child of God can show is giving from a willing heart;
God look at the heart, not the hand;

It well may be we will never start.-D.De Haan
God look at the heart, not the hand;
the giver, not the gift.

12 Reasons to Feed the Poor
Finally Ps. Diel had finish the series of feed the poor...
He used 3 weeks to preach the same topic...
However, his sermon is powerful...
He point out one of the duty as a Christian, and also how the Christian today behave when deal with money...
One interesting fact of human is we never satisfied with what we have...
if u have more, u won't give it out...
one the other hand, if u have more, you want more and more and we never thought of giving out....
when we have wealth, we will think wat to buy,wat to eat, where to eat, change car, house, go travel...
the last thing that come into our mind or maybe never is giving to the poor, people who is in need...
The more you get, the more you want, the more you want, the more you become stingy.
On the other hand, the more you receive, the more you need to give..
Because all your wealth is given by God...
I like the ps. said that : " God give people wealth, so that people will use the money to influence the poor, to show the love of God.."
While most of us will think if we give to the poor, we don't have enough for ourselve..
If we think like that, we fall short on God's strength..
There is scripture indicate that God will provide you to give and if you give for God, God will reward you/
2 Corinthians 8 : 12 If you eager to give, God will accept your gift on the basis of what you have to give, not on what you don't have.
1 Corinthians 9 " 10- and God, who supplies seed for the sower and bread to eat, will also supply you with all the seed you need and make it grow and produce a rich harvest from your generosity.
The more you give, God will reward you...
remember that Jesus didn't born in a rich family.
He who is rich, make himself poor for our sake, so that we would help the poor..
God make the rich and poor people, the different between them is one who is rich, will put themselves higher than God, they think they no need God, however, the poor will show their strong faith...
We wan to to become a person who is rich in faith, not rich but poor in our spiritual life...
and a lot of scripture also said that if we do not help the poor if you have the chance, or you laugh at them, one day you will be punish...
Proverb 14:31 - If you oppress poor people, you insult the God who made them, but kindness shown to the poor is an act of worship
Give to the poor do not need to be money, it can a kind of service, food, cloth, you just offer your help when people is in trouble..
12 reasons to feed the poor
1. To obey the Word and will of God
-Mark 10: 21-23
2. To emulate Christ.
-2 Corinthians 8 : 9
3. To ease the pain of others and protect yourself from callousness, coveting and greed
-1 John 3: 18
4. To express your love and gratitude to the Lord.
- Proverb 19:17- when you give to the poor, it is like lending to the LORD, and the LORD will pay
you back.
5. To be and example to others and help them to establish Christlike priorities.
-Psalms 41:1-1 & Proverbs 14:21
6. To enjoy God's favor and blessing o you life.
- Isaiah 58: 8-11
7. To show Mercy & receive Mercy
-Matthew 5:7
8. Because God chooses the poor.
- James 2:5
9. To improve our community
- Isaiah 58:6-8
10. To reach souls
-Matthew 5:16
11. Because you maybe entertaining angel
- Hebrew 13:2-Remember to welcome strangers in your homes. There are some who did
that and welcomed angels without knowing it. ( how sweet it is)
12. To avoid judgement.
-Ezekiel 16 :47-48
