Planting a forest

 

The point is this:
Whoever sows sparingly
   will also reap sparingly,
and whoever sows bountifully
   will also reap bountifully.

               2 Corinthians 9. 6

(The point is this:
generosity is not limited
   to the giving of stuff
               or money,
but most significantly
    the condition of our hearts.
Live big
       not just in giving,
but in prayer
and in grace and love for others.
A selfless heart
            sees in the dark
   the invisible needs
   of others.
How do we treat people
   God has placed on our path?)

O LORD,
Enlarge our hearts
that we would be aware
of the needs of others
all around us
     and to respond
on a deeper level.
Help us to be sensitive
   to Your nudgine today
in words
and attitudes
    and even the simplest actions
to love others
         right into Your Kingdom.
