No strings attached!
“Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified” (Psalms 70:4).
A chaplain appreciated a loyal soldier in the hospital.
“Bless you son, you saved a fellow soldier’s life and lost an arm in the great cause doing it,” the chaplain said.
“No,” said the soldier with a smile. “I didn’t lose it…I gave it.”
We have so much.
The Lord has blessed many of us with good health, the use of our eyes, ears, mouths, hands, feet and minds.
He’s given us various talents of sorts.
He’s blessed many of us with homes, cars and good paying jobs.
Most importantly-
He’s bestowed upon us the wonderful knowledge of His Son, Jesus.
We are all soldiers in God’s great army.
In the same way this young soldier gave his arm to save a life-
– we should be offering our gifts toward God’s great cause of salvation for the world.
Let’s make it a point to start giving consistently of the gifts God has given us, whatever they may be.
After all, Jesus did not lose His life-
He gave it purposefully for us, no strings attached!
