“and all these things will be added unto you”. Look it up.
Thank You Heavenly Father for posting this wisdom about seeking your kingdom first.
I have read and heard those words before. As I recall they are not too far from sayings about receiving by the same measure with which one distributes and being judged by the standard with which one judges.
I do not mean to pretend to God that I am more virtuous and faithful than I am. As I am candid with Him, I trust Him to grow the faith, resignation, and confidence my soul needs.
Which of us believes that these things are not gifts? And, believing they are gifts, why should I fake having them when I have but to ask? And believing they are unmerited gifts how could I look down on someone who didn’t have them as much as I think they should?
How could I even dare to say how much God should give to another or to me? Do I not trust Him to do in me what pleases Him?
I trust His love to persist even in the face of my lack of trust.
