"FOR-Giving!"

2 Corinthians 9:9-10 (Amplified Bible)
 
As it is written, He [the benevolent person] scatters abroad; He gives to the poor; His deeds of justice and goodness and kindness and benevolence will go on and endure forever!
And [God] Who provides seed for the sower and bread for eating will also provide and multiply your [resources for] sowing and increase the fruits of your righteousness [which manifests itself in active goodness, kindness, and charity].

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>|||<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

The appeal which I constanly hear in my spirit says to me,

'Help the hungry, poor and less fortunate',
Seemingly endless pleading, much like what the Apostle Paul writes, as the ongoing and enduring virtue of 'GIVING', being an urgent 'quickening' by Holy Spirit.

I am guided to look again into the WORDs of Christ Jesus, which give me a deeper understanding of this Eternal 'Appeal', where from the very lips of the 'Holy One', HE lovingly shares

HIS 'Reason for tHIS Season'.
Matthew 19:21 (Amplified Bible)
Jesus answered him,
If you would be perfect [that is, have that spiritual maturity which accompanies self-sacrificing character], go and sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven; and come, be My disciple [side with My party and follow Me].

Christ speaks of a 'spiritual maturity', likening it to the 'responsable' quality that Paul mentions must be a part of the 'manifestation' of my life as a Believer.

Laying aside HIS 'Glory and Majesty', Jesus came FOR-Giving,

Sacrifice as Grace, HIS Gift for Salvation,
Righteousness as 'Justice', HIS judgement against sin.

HE was 'sold' for '30 pieces of silver',

Redemption's 'Price",
FOR-Giving an Eternal inheritance of heavenly 'wealth'
to the 'spiritually' poor and destitute.

HE came FOR-Giving, HIS 'Perfect and Pleasing'

offering of Kingdom 'riches', abundant and overflowing.

'Wrapped in the swaddling clothes of a baby, HE was born,'

'Resurrected in radiant robes, FOR-Giving Life to the weary and worn!'

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>|||<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

O'Lord, YOUR Spirit IS Compassion and Goodness,
FOR-Giving Seed that must be sown, YOUR Bread of Life!
Multiply the charities of YOUR Faithfull WORKs,
FOR-Giving Love to my soul now full and free!!
Praise and Honor to YOUR Name in purpose and deed,
FOR-Giving spiritual food, for it is YOU alone
who abundantly supplies for my every need!!!

Forever and Amen!
