"In the chronic problem of human beings' felt experience of distance from God, God isn't usually the culprit. God is omnipresent - there is no place God is not. And no time He isn't present either. ‎‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ Our awareness of God is the problem, and it's acute. ‎‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ Could it be that, with a few said exceptions, we're the ones who are absent, not God?" ‎‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ (John Mark Comer, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry)

How do you think about generosity? 

How does your picture of the world shape your view of generosity? 

For example, is the world made by God? How might your picture of the world reflect your view of God, about His character and the manner in which He acts in His world?

Do you think that God is ‘stringy’ or full of lack, giving only IF he has to do so? Do you think of Him as a hoarder of many good gifts, a kind of cosmic curmudgeon yet representing a Santa-like figure, a distributor of goods globally? 

On that view of the world, God is pictured more like a belated giver, even regretful in His giving, holding-out, controlling others with His ‘strings-attached’ kind of generosity. With that story of the world, life is sung more in the key of  ultimate scarcity, zero-sum thinking, “get-all-you-can-while-you-can” kind of living.

But is that the world God has made? Is that the view of God that is offered to humanity from the pages of scripture? 

What if God is the most excellent host who invites us into the hospitality of His dwelling?

What if God’s heart and mind are brimming with the affluence of super-abundant goodness and generosity? 

What if God is the most generous, joyous being that could ever exist? What if His generosity is pure overflow of His goodness and His genuine, “lack without lack” kind of life? 

What if God’s generosity is ultimately sacrificial and self-giving for the sake of others and their true flourishing?

What kind of life would you lead if your view of God and His world were not the result of being defined by your circumstances or inadequacy, but centered in His sufficiency, His goodness, His abundance?

What kind of generous person would you become knowing that the Generous God is with you, that His dwelling among you is what frees you to live hilariously generous out of the overflow of His goodness, not out of the scarcity and neediness of living as if you are abandoned, working out your own strength of resources just to survive?

What if God is in the world-changing business of forming a generous people, a net of compassion among the nations, that live out of the never-run-dry provision of God’s sufficient abundance? 

Would you not want to live in that world? May it be, “on earth, as it is in heaven!”

What does it mean to say that the God of the Bible is gracious? In this video, we’ll look at the Hebrew words for grace and understand it to be a rich concept that has profound implications for how we see God. When we look to the biblical meaning of grace and understand God as gracious, we see a God who loves to give generous gifts to undeserving people.

Apocalypse

As a Christian witch, I have a kinda weird view of divinity and the afterlife. Check these guys out if you wanna learn better info about the bible, or just have more ideas to draw from in your craft.

I believe YHWH is the “one” Like her/his essence is what reality is and I see the other deities as spiritual beings of different power, energy, and age. But that is just my vibe. What's yours !!!

Romans 5:8 says that God shows His love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ‎‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎‎‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ Your worth, value, and God's love for you are not dependent upon your behaviour, your actions, or how you feel. Jesus died for you before you were even aware of your sin. ‎‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎‎‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ And here's the best part - Paul writes that God SHOWS His love for us in Christ dying for us. Active tense, not past. He's still doing it. ‎‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎‎‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ May He show that to you today.
