“As it is written: ”He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; His righteousness endures forever.”(Psalm 112) 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. 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. – 2 Corinthians 9:9-11 (New International Version)
Before Jesus left the earth, He gave His mission to his disciples. Now the disciples are in heaven, and because the same mission was given to us as a Christians, we must continue the mission Jesus gave to us Himself.
“My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. Do you not say, ‘Four months more and then the harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. Even now the reaper draws his wages, even now he harvests the crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together.- John 4:34-36
Verse of 36 is saying to be happy together. Let us be glad to give as those in India are glad to receive.
God Bless You!
