* How Much More...?

So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him.
Matthew 7:11 NLT

I hear it several times a day...I'm sure you hear it too...

I can't do much more... How much more will it take? I can't take much more...  How much more am I supposed to take before I....? I do much more than... 

How much more? WAAAAAYYYYYY more... How much more would Jesus do, take, give...?

Would you leave everything good and perfect and come down to an imperfect world and heal the hurts and illnesses, raise people from the dead, and teach wisdom and success to people who would beat you and ultimately, kill you? 

Have you given your life's blood to redeem mankind's transgressions? Hebrews 9:14-15 NKJV tells us  ...how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance

How much more?

WAAAAAYYYYYY more...

Prayer:

Father,

Let us not look to the limits of our flesh, but rather to the Author and Finisher of our faith. Help us to walk before You with clean hands and a pure heart. Change our heart's attitude from How much more can I take to How much more can I give... In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
