God is a designer. 

            We're His works of art.

Everything is relevant. You reap what you sow. Sowing doesn't always have to be in the form of money. You can sow love, peace, joy, anger, lust, or even nothing. You sow love and you get love. You sow nothing and you get nothing. Whether you choose to be a partaker of the sowing system you're involved. So I encourage you to make  a change for the betterment of your friendships and relationships as well as financial investments. Some people are investing time and money into the earth therefore they find thereself getting behind and in a hole. Remember the story about the the three men with talents. Investing time into people or money for good causes tells God you value the little that He gives you so more will be added to you but if you hide it in the earth or use for selfish gain then little to none will be added to you.

Its so true when I was in college I was so selfish God blessed me beyond measure financially. I could have helped support my parents, shoot i could have even put more than a dollar in the offering plate at church. But instead I invested in going out to eat, tattoos, clubs, shopping... all things that are perishable. Just as God gave me the blessing of money He allowed it to be taken away. So all those investments were a waste, instead I could have invested in a car, help my mother with bills, help my dad with my little brother and sister, give to causes supporting the poor. I don't regret it because i had to go through that process in order to be where I am today. But I want to encourage you all to see in another viewpoint there is such a joy of helping others and when you help them they thank God for you. It brings glory to the Father.

There is a river flowing of hope in God, of love in God. Look at Ruth she gleaned the field, diligently not for her selfish gain but out of love for Naomi. God blessed her beyond measure. Look at Abraham he trusted God enough to lay his son down as a sacrifice and God blessed him beyond measure.

God wants to do the same for you and I. We have to ask ourself am I investing my time, energy, talents, and money in the best way possible? Are my investments vain... are my motives selfish? Am I doing this task as hard as I possibly can? Is this the best I can do? Am I showing excellancy?

God's word is living, it hasn't changed, He is unchangeable thats why you can have confidence that when you give your all He will bless it. Put away the Cain selfishness and give God your best as Able did and be blessed!

Lord I pray that your people recieved your message. Continue to transform our hearts and our minds. Help us to meditate on Your living word day in and day out so that we can become wise and fruitful as you have called us to be. Help us to become selfless as you are and putting others needs way above our own wants and desires. Lord we understand that we are mere humans born into sin but we come against every foul spirit that tries to attack us and seperate us from Your truths. In Jesus name. Amen.
