This year each Alaskan resident received free money that they neither worked for nor earned. $1,600 was given to us by the state as "our share" of the oil that God put in the earth. How much we have received! And, of course you know that the dollars we received are nothing at all compared to the greater spiritual riches that God pours out on us every day! We receive full forgiveness for every sin. We receive His Holy Spirit that brings us to faith. We receive the Word of God with all of its promises which sustain and strengthen that faith. We haven't done a thing to earn any of those greater gifts. How much we have received!
Considering all of God's rich gifts to us, we can't help but be moved to sincere gratitude that longs to thank God for all of His rich blessings! Having received so much, we're eager to give back to God a portion of all that's He's blessed us with to express our thanks to Him. Could you part with that portion of your PFD to help share the Gospel with more people and make an eternal impact? Consider using some of what our God has so graciously and generously given to support the work of His Kingdom.
