    Please pray for me . I have been taking God's generosity towards me for granted . This is a sin . Please pray that God will forgive me for my ingratitude and for my irresponsible use of what He has provided for me . I have taken God's generosity towards me for granted and I have been frivolous with His provision for me . I am sorry . May God forgive me .

    Jema:

    Recognizing that God is generous to you is acknowledging God and his presensence in you: YOUR HIS BODY. His word says he causes you to do his pleasure; therefore, you are not acting irresponsible with his generosity, but are acting according to his will.

    Philippians 2:13 For it is God that WORKETH in you, both TO WILL and TO DO of his good pleasure.

    Ezekiel 36:27 And I WILL put my spirit IN YOU and CAUSE you to walk in my statutes and ye shall keep my JUDGEMENTS and DO THEM.

    Colossians 1:27 .....THIS MYSTERY ..... CHRIST IN YOU ......

    You DIED with Christ on the cross, ONLY Christ arose; and you as a joint heir, with Christ of that resurrection, A NEW CREATION.

    Luke 20:36 Neither can they (YOU, Jema) DIE anymore, for they (YOU, Jema) are equal unto the angels, and are the children of God, being the CHILDREN (YOU, Jema) of the RESURRECTION.

    Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he (YOU, Jema) that hath part in the FIRST (you and Christ) RESURRECTION ......

    1 John 3:9 Whosoever is BORN of God (TRUTH) CANNOT COMMIT SIN; for his seed (the anointing) remaineth in him, and he cannot sin because he is born of God (TRUTH).

    The wages of sin is DEATH: you DIED on the cross, the life IN YOU is CHRIST, your the BODY of CHRIST.

    BELIEVE, Christ is CAUSING you to do HIS WILL, for his good pleasure, you ARE NOT irresponsible, but walking in the WILL of God.

    God Bless you

    Thinking more about your response to me . I have been , foolishly looking back at my past and deeply regretting a few things , I was my own worst enemy as a young woman . You have reminded me that , all things work together for good to them that love God . Everything is as it should be and I am where God wants me to be and I am doing what God wants me to do . May we always surrender to His Will and learn not to struggle against Him . Thanks again :) .

    Jema:

    Don't look back with regrets; what you call mistakes, God calls a learning experience to gain knowledge.

    Josephs brothers thought that they made a mistake and had regrets, Joseph, in the wisdom of God SAID:

    Genesis 50:20 But as for you, you thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to SAVE MUCH PEOPLE ALIVE.

    2 Corinthians 5:18 ALL THINGS (even what we deem as mistakes) ARE OF GOD, who hath reconciled (a completed ACT) us unto himself by (the resurrection) of Jesus Christ, and hath given us the ministry (KNOWLEDGE) of reconciliation.

    Romans 8:7 The carnal mind is ENMITY (in direct rebellion) against God (the WORD) .........

    God Bless You

    Dear Jordyn , thank you so much for responding to me , I really appreciate it . Your words are very kind and do actually make sense . I am a person who doesn't have a lot of money but , I feel like the richest woman in the world :) this sometimes makes me act foolishly with what God has given me . Thanks again , hope you have a good day today in Texas , it's cloudy and cool here where I am but your words have warned me up . Much love in Christ .

    Jema,

    You are most welcome. How wonderful it is that the True God is so generous with us in life matters and in so many ways. We are very blessed. Cultivating an attitude of gratefulness to God and generosity towards others is something I am working on, too.

    Even though I love to help others and serve where needed, I understand that there is so much more to being thankful and generous. We cannot "outdo" God in looking out for the needs of others and not just our own, but we can pray and hope to be continually better at this over time.

    Again, I wish you blessings today. May you be touched by God in just the right way as He knows your needs and what is best for you.
