God is GREAT!

Call upon him and he will come.  God is truly working through us and showing us G Momma's that our mission is so clear.  We have been blessed with so many wonderful hearts to share in our journey.  We are thankful for the generousity of our local community and their will to make a difference in "our part of the world."  Like I said in a previous blog, all we need to do is spread the word and speak up for those who can't or won't.  Be the voice for others.
This came to me to share;
  • Luke 6:20-21. Blessed are you who are poor, for yours in the kingdom of God. Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.
  • Ps. 140:12. I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice for the poor.
  • Is. 25:4. For You have been a defense for the helpless, a defense for the needy in his distress.
  • Ps. 10:14. The unfortunate commits himself to You; You have been the helper of the orphan... O LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will strengthen their heart, You will incline Your ear to vindicate the orphan and the oppressed.
I think it's fair to say that American attitudes toward the poor-- and perhaps not just in America-- are mostly disdain and fear. They're dangerous and different. Sometimes there's a suspicion that their condition is their own fault, that they're simply lazy or inferior. Other Americans are more kind-hearted, but prefer not to look at the poor too closely; it's depressing, and they're surely not fun people to be with.
These attitudes are a world away from God's attitudes, as described in these verses. Neediness arouses compassion in God-- and action.
We may think: "Of course God loves the poor; he loves everybody." But it's not so simple as that; God's character is presented as a model for our own. If God values the poor, we have to think about what that means for us. (quoted from a website that I was sent to)

May God bless all your generous, loving hearts.  May God speak to you and guide you to where he needs you!

Motivated, PUMPED UP GMomma ..out!
