He Gives and Gives...

Then Peter said, “See, we have left all and followed You.” So He said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, “who shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the age to come eternal life.”—Luke 18:28-30

You cannot out give God...He is a debtor to no man.  Praising Him today and every day because even in my “losses” for Jesus’ sake, I profit.  I cannot give God anything. He is the self-sufficient One...He needs nothing.  But God, by His divine power because of His great love with which He loved us, gives us, as believers, ALL things that pertain to life and godliness. And Godliness, the Scriptures tell us, is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.  Beloved, our God is our shield and our exceedingly great reward.  

Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ.—Phil 3:8
