[JOYnet] The Godly Quality of Generosity
Dear Friends, He who bestows his goods upon the poor, shall have as much again, and ten times more. -John Bunyan The Godly Quality of Generosity Proverbs 11:24-25 24 There is one who scatters, and yet increases all the more, And there is one who withholds what is justly due, and yet it results only in want. 25 The generous man will be prosperous, And he who waters will himself be watered. There is a funny story about a frustrated mother and a fidgety seven-year old girl in church one Sunday morning. The child was extremely bored halfway through the sermon, and was causing her mother a great deal of stress. Finally, the girl looked up and exclaimed, Mommy, if we just give him the money now, will he let us go home?!? We smirk, because we know in our hearts that the most painful honesty usually comes out of the mouths of children. Is this how we view giving? Sometimes, it is as though we think of our ministry giving as actually paying dues to the church! This is not how God intends us to view the act of giving. Consider the poor widow in Mark 12. After stepping up and contributing only two small coins totaling one cent, Jesus proclaimed that this one woman had given more than anyone else because she had nothing, yet still contributed. Christians should never give out of obligation, but instead in an attitude of joy and worship (2 Corinthians 9:7). By giving, we can bless others just as we ourselves have been blessed (Matthew 10:8). We have many wonderful opportunities every day to demonstrate Gods love to others. Does our giving reflect the grace and blessings that God has bestowed upon us? Pray today for God to bless you with the heart of a giver. Copyright © 2000, IN TOUCH Magazine. In Touch Ministries.

[JOYnet] John said " This Christmas I didnt drink"
John said this Christmas I didnt drink Yesterday in the evening, John (not the real name) came to meet with me. John is a white, professional, married to his beautiful wife and they have four children. John is laid off from job for the past two years due to drinking habit. John shared about the past Christmas and its relevance in his life. "This Christmas was a unique one for me" I got curious and listened to his sharing " For the first time in years I was with my wife and children, and that was a peaceful Christmas". John continued and said " I didnt drink this time " and I praised God, knowing him to be a recovering alcoholic. I know it is only God who could deliver alcoholics from bondage. John was depressed == More revelations came as we talked " I got jobless because of my drinking habit and it is two years since I am out of job. I am always depressed because of alcohol. I remember how his wife narrated him to be sleepy and without any drive for work. John stayed home and fought whenever he was irritated, being under the influence. He developed a mean attitude and character Father my John was never this way I remember his wife, Sarah (fictitious name) sharing with me sometime back. God doesnt leave any stone unturned John said to me yesterday, confirming his wifes sharing. All these years I had been praying so that I stop drinking. There were many ill effects of alcoholism. I have heard him say that he prayed for deliverance from alcoholism and related ill effects. John continued sharing, I had been away from my God and family. I have wasted money on wine and women. There is no commandment of God that I didnt break. Thank God we didnt divorce. (He took a deep breath). Miracle on Christmas Eve Johns voice was broken. He continued sharing the miraculous encounter with God. I went to the liquor store a couple of times and there was no money even in my credit card. On Christmas Eve, I was at the parking lot of a Super market to buy a bottle of liquor. I ran out of money. I know my wife wont give any money. I sat down in the cold and felt humiliated. I didnt have money to pump gas for my car. So I walked from home, in the cold. I thought I am worthless. Many thoughts flashed my m! ind. It is uncommon for a white man to cry in someones presence. It is less manly for a man to shed tears in the American culture, as far as I understand. I think this is a cultural trait and I respect that. But John cried. He continued. I sat down and shed tears in that public place. I am sure some of the shoppers have said, He is drunk. I prayed to God asking for a different Christmas. My God was patient with me. and this statement reminded me of Nehemiah. You are a forgiving God, gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love (Nehemiah 9:17). God is compassionate and Patient with us sinners. I think this John was in turn patient with God. God guided him through strange paths. Thank God he didnt commit suicide. I thought there is no reason to live I remembered his sharing at one point. St. James exhorts the faithful about the need to be patient with God Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord is coming (James 5:7) Johns encounter with God John continued sharing the powerful miracle in his life, his encounter with God, God talking to him. John said to me Father I have heard a voice from my heart. I could not believe God talking to me a sinner. Is it possible that God talked to me a sinner? There is no commandment of God that I havent broken. Tell me more about that I encouraged him. John kept sharing. I have heard someone whispering to me. Stop drinking. I am leading you. I couldnt control my tears. This reminded me of God conversing with the Pro! phet Elijah through whispers. Lord was not in the fire. After the fire there as the soft whisper of a voice. When Elijah heard it. He covered his face with his Cloak. A voice said to him. (1kings.1912 and 13.) John continued sharing how painful that was for him to go home on Christmas Eve without drinking. Thank God. God made me poor to change my lifestyle. I praised and thanked God with John. I personally thanked and praised God for listening to my prayers. I have prayed for him for a while. For a long time, I wanted to hear from John what I have heard from him yesterday. This morning I met John and he seemed different, confident and I could see different grace on his face. Never late to turn to God. The experience of John tells me that it is never too late to return to God. God is forgiving, gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, (Nehemiah 9:17) we read in the Book of Isaiah about the forgiving attitude of God. You are stained red with sin, but I will wash you as clean as snow. Although your stains are deep red, you will be as white as wool (Isaiah 1.18-19). I think, we shouldnt be ashamed to return to God. Everyone is welcome

[JOYnet] PRAY FOR US
Dear Loving Friends all over, Hope you all ahd a very blessed and spirit filled Christmas. Let us continue to grow in that spirit. I like to request your valuable prayers for the annual year end (evaluation and planning) program for the Jesus Youth of America. The first line leadership (mostly in the North East region) will come together for prayer, reflection, evaluation, discernment, planning etc. from the 28th evening to 30th evening. Certain very serious decisions are to be made and strategies to be formed. So I request you all to keep this program in your prayers from now on till it is over. May God bless you all. With Love and Prayers, Fr. Thomas Tharayil Teaneck,NJ,USAhose participating. It shows the lack of seriousness and priority that we give to our call. It was announced so early that, had we tried, we all could attend. Please think: am I not attending this program for a real serious reason, or could I make it if I sacrifice a little. Think before the Lord and decide. Time is not over. You could still walk in. To all; please pray for this formation program, which is going to be a very serious one in the light of the future of JY of America. Especially all those not attending, should make a special effort to dedicate at least one hour in serious prayer for the program at any time and place convenient for you. The program will be in Hershey (Dr.Manoj's residence). We will be prayerfully discussing and trying to discern the will of God for us as a fellowship for the next year, and the years to come. So please take it serious and pray earnestly. All those who can and feel called by the Lord, please try to make it even though at the last moment. OK With Love and Prayers, Fr.

Re : [JOYnet] Miracles of the Lord.
Hi All Thanks alfred for the sharing.I had some experiences this week Yesterday I had asked all of u to pray for my sister (JOYnet] An Open Heart and a Free Mind for Baby Jesus) Yesterday I had gone to my house and called my sister up and I could not comprehend the way my lord had worked out. She was telling me that she was Okay and was so thankful to have a brother like me.Priase the Lord.He had worked a miracle. Last sunday after the mass me and my sister were about to leave rain started and I was afraid that I would not be able to take her out A week full of mirculous happening.All the while I was having a prayer in mind and asked lord to stop the rain. But after a while I started thanking the Lord and the rain subsided.When ever a drizzle occurs I tell him "Jesus You Know Us.I Praise You for the Rain and let your holy will be done" and the rain will subside. Another thing Jesus did for me was the miraculous saving from two accidents.I was riding on my vehicle with my sister on one occasion and a dog was about to run across when an Angel of our Abba father turned him down and on another occasion I was all alone.In the case I fell and not even a small bruise occured to me. On monday i had gone to the HDFC bank to get cash.But somehow I could not get it and my card also got in the ATM machine and tension started.I was having a doubt whether the cash had already been billed from my account.All the day i was doubtful about it.Then in the evening I got my card back from the bank and asked the lord to take care of the amount as I received an assurance from the Lord.Next day when I checked the expected amount was there With Love and prayers in the name of Jesus Mary and Joseph Shobith Coimbatore _ Join SQAtester.com Community ---> http://www.sqatester.com/testersarea/joinus.htm This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.
