“Let none say: God has bless us with money and possessions and then live as if they and their God were alone in the world. For the time will come when they realize that they have been worshipping the idols of their good fortune and selfishness. Possessions are not God’s blessing and goodness, but the opportunities of service which God entrusts to us.”- Dietrich Bonhoeffer , A Testament to Freedom pp.196-197
What is that shower of blessing you have received? Give it cheerfully. What is the monetary extra you have stored? Look like a treasure seeker to find some good use for it in his Kingdom. What is the gain you have gotten by hard work, or gift? Pour it upon a need. What is the spiritual blessing or blessings of friendship that have come into your possesion? Pour them on the weary and wounded. As the rain comes and waters your field, take your buckets and run mad to the thirsty parched soul of another and pour refreshing waters over. Do this again and again until you are almost parched, for then and only then will you be ready once more to receive the blessings from on high.
