Da Word... 188! Puff Puff GIVE!


Good.... Evenin' !

Sup y'all!  Yo, it was NICE this past weekend!  It hit the mid 80s!  Pretty crazy, but you could tell peeps were reveling in the sun.  TRU!   It's raining today though, heh.  Aight, on to... da Word! 

checkit:

At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need. Then there will be equality...
- Paul ( 2 Cor. 8:14)

Yo, tell it brutha!  MMHMMMM!!!!  In this chapter, Paul is encouraging the Corinthians to be generous and giving.  And not only to do so, but to eagerly and willingly do so.  He gave them props for being the first to give one year ago, and for having the desire to give.  Paul affirms these kats and tells them to keep it up cuz it is da bomb diggity.  That's right!  But why potnas?  Why is it good to be generous and to give?

For one, if ya gots plenty, your plenty will supply another's need!  I mean, that's pretty simple no?  Ones excess can be of TREMENDOUS aid to one who is in need.  So, instead of letting that excess chill out and waste away, we can accomplish two things:  putting that excess to work (that's right you lazy sack of excess, to work you go!) AND aiding the needs of our fellow man.  Now that's hot.   Oh oh oh, but that's not all....

By being generous, our giving will return unto us!  See, when we help a brutha or a sista out, it will be remembered, if not by that bro or sista, by someone else.  And guess what?  Yeah potnas, when we become strapped and in need, these kats will remember our deed.  And yo, if they then have excess, their plenty will supply our need.  BAM!!!!!  What goes around comes around.  If ya sow goodness, kindness, and generosity... my bruthaz and sistaz, you will reap it!

Where are you focusin' potnas?  On numero uno?  Or on those around you?  Your imperishable, priceless, and invaluable reward will come by focusing on those around you, and serving your fellow bruthaz and sistaz.  And trust me, that kind of reward is better than any.

G-bless,
