WORD OF GOD

Tobit 5:7-11
ASH WEDNESDAY

Give alms from your possessions to those who act justly and do good. Do not be grudging when you give alms. Do not turn away your face from anyone who is poor so that God may not turn away his face from you. Give alms in proportion to the amount you have; if you have little, do not be afraid to give alms according to the little you have. In this way you are storing up treasure against the day of tribulation, because almsgiving frees us from death and keeps us from wandering in the darkness. For, in fact, almsgiving is, for the one who practices it, a precious treasure in the eyes of God.

---- Mine, 

In short what I ask of you this season of Lent is to give wholeheartedly, give generously, give promptly, give joyfully, and you be storing for yourself treasures in the Kingdom of God.  Give and you will receive in return in full measure, shaken together, pressed down and overflowing. Nothing pleases me better than a heart that strives unceasingly to be like My Own.
