Today's entry from "365 Days of Prayer for Women" by Stephanie Sample:

TOO MUCH TO HOLD

"Give, and you will receive.
You will be given much.
Pressed down,
shaken together,
and running over,
it will spill into your lap.
The way you give to others
is the way God will give to you."
~ Luke 6:18 NEV

"You are so generous, Lord! Especially when I give generously, your blessings pour back to me. Not only does your joy fill my heart, but you always replace what I give away. Though I iknow this to be true, I confess I don't always want to give. I doubt that you'll come through again, though you always do, or sometimes I just want to keep what's mine. Don't let those selfish impulses win, Lord! Remind me what else is mine---your joyful presence---and that no thing, or any amount of money, is more valuable to me than that. Inspire me to care more for the comfort of others, God."

"What can we let go of so God can give us more?"
