Pastor’s thought:
If you are need of a shower of blessings or an outpouring of God’s blessing. Find people to love/care/serve with passion.
Luke 6:35-38. This is a hidden treasure or a kingdom secret that the carnal world does not understand. But for God’s people, it is clear that giving is the road to an outpouring of God’s blessings on your life.
