Moreover,
God is able to make every grace abundant for you, so that in all things, always
having all you need, you may have an abundance for every good work. As it is written: He scatters
abroad, he gives to the poor; his righteousness endures forever. The one who
supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your
seed and increase the harvest of your righteousness.
God gives us
everything we need to succeed as Christians. He offers us guidance and graces.
He supplies us all our good thoughts, words, and works. All He asks from us in
return is a spirit of humble servitude and a faithful, hopeful, and loving life
spent sowing the spiritual seeds He gives us. If we do this, then our acts of
charity and mercy will sustain not only our souls, but the souls of many
others. They shall multiply and increase the harvest of good and righteous
fruits. God wants us to be active in our faith... to scatter it wherever we
find good and fertile ground so that devotion and fidelity to God will grow in
the hearts and minds of all those whom we are graced to meet.
In what ways
do we thank God for the graces He has given us? How can we use these gifts and
talents to increase the harvest of His righteousness? Where is God asking us to
scatter the seeds of our faith?
O Lord,
thank you for the graces you have given us and the harvest have entrusted to
our hands.
Amen.
