 Let's Talk: About Abundance
|
|
 This is a good time to bring back one of my favorite topics: Abundance.
If ever there was a time for us to be reminded (and to remind one another) about the importance of living from a place of abundance, this is it. God’s abundance does not wane, even if the store shelves are empty. The Spirit’s abundance is not diminished even if we are feeling pulled in so many directions (yes, that can happen even when we spend 24 hours inside our homes) that we fall exhausted into bed each night. When Jesus reminds us in Matthew chapter 6 about the dangers of worry, he is reminding us to look for abundance. Click HERE to read more.
