'You Can't Out-Give God' - Luke 18:28-30

Peter said, "We've left our homes to follow you."
"Yes," Jesus replied, "and I assure you that everyone who has given up house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the Kingdom of God, will be repaid many times over in this life, and will have eternal life in the world to come."


—Luke 18:28-30 NLT

Key Thought​

No matter what we may give up for the sake of the Kingdom and to honor the LORD, it will be nothing compared to what God has already given up in Jesus' sacrifice for us and what God has promised us. Bottom line: We can't out-give God! When our motives are to honor him, to bless his people, and to empower the work of the Kingdom, then we can be assured that God will not forget!

Today's Prayer​

Father, thank you so much for your generous grace. I also want to thank you in advance for your generous reward and abundant blessings that lie ahead. I ask, dear LORD, that you help me not let my passion and desire to honor and to bless you be diluted by life's challenges. In Jesus' name. Amen.

I love this scripture. I served on the mission field in Guatemala El Salvador and Mexico and God has always provided. I have endured a lot of rejection and persecution from my unsaved loved ones and family but it has all been worth it. God has given me wonderful brothers and sisters and even fathers and mothers since my parents passed away and went to be with the Lord. We will never sacrifice more than Jesus sacrificed for us! He is always faithful to provide what we need and He knows the deepest desires of our hearts. Praise You dearest Jesus!
