Elijah then said to her, “Do not be afraid.
Go, and do as you have said.
But first make me a little cake of it and bring it to me.
Then make some for yourself and your son.
For this is the word of the Lord, the God of Israel,
‘The jar of meal shall not be emptied
nor shall the jug of oil fail,
until the day when the Lord sends rain to the earth.”
---- mine,
Once again, I say to you, "Do not be afraid." Fear has no place in the heart and life of those who belong to Me, for they walk by faith and not by sight. Look at the widow, she had nothing for the drought affected her as well, and after she and her son ate the last of the food, she was certain they would both die. But at the word of the prophet, she did as he asked. She shared the last of what she had, and true to his word, neither the flour nor the oil ran out as long as the drought lasted, and God opened the heavens and it rained. Do not be afraid to share the little you have because all is My gift to you. Nothing is given to you solely for yourself. After your needs are met, share gladly, not with fear, worried whether or not you will have enough for tomorrow. Tomorrow will take care of itself, also no one is guaranteed tomorrow. All you have is this present moment in which to live in My love, move in love, be directed by My love. In this is peace, a peace that the world cannot give for it comes from Me and it is My gift to all who believe in Me, hope in Me, and trust Me. Use the gifts I have given you negligible though you think your gifts are, for My glory, in My service, and I will take care of the rest. The more you use what you have well, the more it will grow and be perfected. Do what you can and leave the outcome to Me. You will not be disappointed.
