CIRCLE OF BLESSINGS

II Corinthians 9: 13-15
While by the proving of this ministration they glorify GOD for your professed subjection unto the Gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men, and by their prayer for you, who long after you for the exceeding grace of GOD in you. Thanks be unto GOD for His unspeakable gift.

The circle is complete, the recipient of the goodness of GOD, glorifies GOD; the distributor of GOD'S gifts, glorifies GOD; GOD is pleased and blesses both the giver and the receiver. There is more, to whom belongs the glory?

It is very normal for us to thank the person, who is the giver of the gifts of GOD and praise them for their devotion to Him and the Gospel of Christ. Many people extol the human hands and feet of JESUS and stop there. The truth is, that every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and comes to us from the Father of lights in whom there is no variableness neither shadow of turning (James 1:17).

The strongest words of these verses are in the last verse, verse 15, thanks be unto GOD for His unspeakable gift. The gift of his only begotten Son, JESUS to atone for our sins, breaking down the dividing wall between us and GOD and reconciling us to GOD. We are only earthen vessels, that the excellence and the power be of GOD and not of ourselves. We have nothing without the blessing and goodness of GOD.

JESUS IS THE ETERNAL GREAT GIFT TO US ALL, BELIEVE IN HIM AND GLORIFY HIM.
