And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.

2 Corinthians 9:8

When is the last time you went abounding? Okay, so at our age, abounding might equate more to a determined, but cautiously swift shuffle, when “rushing” to the bathroom at 3:00 a.m.

Aligning yourself with today’s text will help you inventory your own abundance of blessings from God. Your list would be long, and most abundant in your bounty is the pile of forgiven sins that your Savior carried to the cross. Of course, this isn’t for you to accept and forget. You need to use it.

Your willingness to forgive and serve others will go a long way to fuel your own “abundance” to share with others.

Dear Father, thank You for giving me abundant mercy and grace. Help me to share it with others. Amen.

Reflect: Make a list of your abundance from God. How will you share it?
