find a penny pick it up

Someone (Annette)sent me an e-mail the other day. It was about a man who always picked up pennies just to read the inscription IN GOD WE TRUST on the back as a reminder to him of who’s in charge. As I was reading the e-mail my phone rang. The name of the company calling was HALFPENNY TECHNOLOGIES. I almost laughed out loud. But then I began wondering…Have I been putting all of my trust in God? Is my relationship with God consistent? Or, am I available to him only when it’s convenient for me? I was reminded that in order to understand God better I must continue to study his Word. Have you ever read a part of the Bible you’ve read before but you could never understand it and then all of a sudden it makes perfect sense? Breakthroughs like these feel like wisdom and joy and peace all wrapped into one! I don’t want to ever miss a chance to heed Gods call. I frequently tell God that I’m ready to know more about his plan for my life. I believe his silence means that while he’s glad I think I’m ready, He still knows better. I really do feel that God is preparing me for something. I think that is a natural feeling for any Christian to have. It’s like the thirst for Gods love that we so often hear about. ³⁷On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. ³⁸Whoever believes in me, as^[a] the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." John 7:37-38 The transcending power of Gods love is so awesome! Sharing God’s love with others is such a beautiful experience and I hope he will let me do much more of that in my lifetime. His mysterious nature only compels me onward. I have every intention of following the path he’s laid before me. As my trust in God and my knowledge of his Word grows I know I can make great strides. I know that miracles happen when we welcome Jesus into our hearts even a just a little bit. Imagine what giving him all of our hearts can accomplish
