At the center of our faith
is a quiet but powerful truth:
we become what we receive.
When we take in fear,
fear is what we hand back to the world.
When we breathe in scarcity,
we start living small, guarded lives.
Fear and scarcity clench our fists.
They shrink our prayers.
They paint God as distant or withholding.
But that is not the Father’s heart.
When we receive His overflowing goodness,
something in us loosens.
Breath deepens.
Generosity becomes possible again.
His abundance doesn’t just fill us—
it spills through us.
This is the shape of discipleship:
Trust the Father.
Receive His gifts.
Become His generosity in the world.
Jesus says,
“Ask and you will receive.
Seek and you will find.
Knock and the door will be opened.”
Because from God,
everything—everything—is gift.
And Jesus asks,
“Which one of you would hand your child a stone
when he asks for bread?”
If we, with all our limits, know how to give good gifts,
how much more does our Father delight in giving what is good.
So today, the invitation is simple:
Receive what God is already pouring out.
And let His goodness become the goodness you give.
Prayer
Father,
Open my hands to what You give.
Quiet the fear I keep breathing in.
Loosen the grip that scarcity builds.
Let Your goodness rise in me again.
Fill me with the gifts You pour each day.
Shape my heart to trust, receive, and give.
Make Your generosity the rhythm of my life.
Amen
