Today’s Scripture: So give what is inside to the poor, and then everything will be clean for you. Luke 11:41 ISV
The Holy Spirit that my Heavenly Father has placed inside of me is all I have to give.
I thank God for His all surpassing gift. One I can not repay but one I am giving away. I also want to pause to thank you and for those reader’s God has sent before to give the seeking that was inside.
Your presence, your words and your “likes” of encouragement have been inspirational when I was weak and fragile and unsure of what God had placed in me. I no longer doubt His love and His gift. I know that all that I have to give is what He has placed in me.
I also want to encourage you to give what He has placed within you. It is beautiful and it will continue to cleanse all of you as He is doing in me.
Are you giving what is inside of you?
Today’s Prayer: Heavenly Father thank You for placing Your Spirit in me. I know this gift is one for me to give away. I pray thanksgivings and faith that I know Your will and Your Kingdom are being given. Please help me to understand the cleansing that takes place through the giving away what you have placed in me. Amen

Thanks, Tom. My dad always had a phrase, “that which is in the well will surely come out. God has blessed many through His words of wisdom you have shared. We are a witness and testimony in this present world. Keep enduring this race, for it will surely be worth it. … On my way to worship.
Patsy, God is so good and faithful! As you know I do not typically write on Sunday’s yet God awoke me early this morning and put me in a reflective mindset and sent me to the Spirit of His Lord’s prayer and I reflected on what goodness He has given us. I find it confirming that you responded as your name flashed before my spirit this morning. You were one of my first subscribers here at Affirmations of God almost three years ago. And I realized the thanksgiving in my heart for those of you who encouraged me when I was seeking to just share what He was giving me. My ego was fragile yet my spirit was moved. Witnessing today that a milestone of 50,000 views of Affirmations of God made me realize God’s greatness and how He can use our weak and fragile vessels to carry His Spirit. Nothing of us but all of HIM. Praying blessings upon you and your worship today as you praise our LORD and our God. We will continue to dwell in Him and He in us! Blessings my sister, thank you for your gifts you have given to me. The gifts of love and support that is inside of you was certainly given to the poor in spirit and we are being cleansed.
Loved this one, Tom!! Never noticed that tiny but powerful Scripture.
Thank you Julie. God has placed power within us!
