More, more, more

We taught our two little ones the sign for "more" before they could even speak. They knew if they wanted more milk, more baby food, more whatever, all they had to do was touch their fingers together in front of them. It was pretty neat to see and benefited us all; they received more sustenance and we didn't have to guess as much.

Much as I want to ensure that they have all that they need, GOD wants to assure us that He can meet all of our needs. If there is something lacking, He has what is necessary to fill that need. Now, don't get me wrong, I am not a believer in the "name it and claim it", "blab it and grab it" philosophy. I believe that GOD bestows upon us generous blessings. I also believe that He expects us to work for what we get and to be content with His blessings (don't confuse contentment with complacency). Anyway, I've gotten off point - GOD wants to give us more.

Today's word is Jude 1:2, NLT, which reads, "May GOD give you more and more mercy, peace, and love."

Jude was writing to his fellow believers to encourage them by letting them know that GOD has great things He bestows upon us - mercy, peace, and love. I don't know about you but those three things are certainly ones I want more and more of. And, true mercy, true peace, and true love only come from the One and Only True GOD.

There are things that any is too much. There are other things that there will never be enough. When it comes to mercy, peace and love, I want more, more, more!

Be Blessed,
