You Are Supposed To Share

As Christians we are supposed to share - by design!
But there are those whom do not believe this, especially when we are to do so with those we do not believe deserve it!
Much less, the very idea of doing so with God's gifts!

Jonah 4:1-4

Just Do It!
Sometimes giving away God's Grace or sharing it, just does not make sense.
give it away anyway!
Read Jonah chapters 1 and 2.
Jonah knew what God wanted him to do.
And he ran away!

"The Assyrians do not deserve it!"
Nope forgiveness and God's grace, could never be for the enemy of the Jew!

You Can't Run
Sometimes you just want to run away!
Sometimes you really do.

Facing the storm made more sense than telling the Assyrians of grace.
Whom were known for their tortures and impaling of people!

Thank God For Discipline
Sometimes God Disciplines You.
Sometimes God is testing you .  (think of Job!)
Thank Him for it!  It always come with Grace.

Jonah prays to God and the fish barfs him up!
Discipline is His way of calling you back.
It is never punishment  though wqe may see it this way.

Go 
Sometimes you are called to go and do - but you don't want to.
Go anyway!

Jonah threw a hissy fit!
Go had to reprove Jonah!

Share
Sharing can be hard.
After-all, if God wants to bless them He will!
Grace upon Grace is often easier than overcoming our will!
Get humble and share as you know you should.

And be willing to receive God's Grace as well!
