Streams to Oceans
When things go from a trickle to a gush, like a stream or tributary to a river into the oceans
I use to think the following scripture was abundance of wealth and 'material things'. Now amazingly the freedom that I feel comes from 'truth', it has set me free.
The freely given grace of God can't help but overflow like a river into a vast seas of His people waiting to know of His righteousness. God love a cheerful giver, from the heart, and what comes from the heart? It is overflowing compassion, love and grace,
We are poor in spirit and heart and in our crying out day and night we desire to know Him more He does not withhold. His richness is the pouring out of His Spirit to us out day and night is His expression of His love for His children and in turn we are generous with this powerful healing love and grace, overflowing without restriction.
His seed multiplies in us and becomes bread, it grows and becomes branches for rest, it becomes fruit, and in turn it becomes seed again. The unending circle of reaping and sowing. It is about the seed of His grace and love and nothing else. He loved us first.
And when the seed is made into bread for nourishment it is shared. It will feed the multitudes, because His seed is endless, His bread never ceases. Cast your bread on the water and it will come back to you. It will flow all over the earth and once what was a small a trickling stream becomes an explosion of a rapid flowing river will fill the vast sea of His children.
2 Corinthians 9:6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 9 As it is written: "He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever." 10 Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. 11 You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God. 12 This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God's people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. 13 Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, men will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else. 14 And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you. 15 Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!
Seed and bread on the water.
