Everything We Need in God

We have everything we need in God.
神は本当に必要なものを与える。God gives us what we need.
それも必要な時に。それは、その人の都合ではなく、よいタイミングで。
He gives it to us at the appropriate moment.

Wealth is NOT money.
We must support the person who really need help.
難しいことだけど、欧米では「そっとしておいてあげる優しさ」が
あるそうだ。日本ではやたらと「どうしたんだ?」、「元気出せよ。」、
「頑張れ!」と言ってしまう。
価値観の押し売りは良くない。そして、人間関係構築の為にお金を使うケースが
よくある。お金は本当に必要としている人の為に使うものだと最近つくづく思う。

Luke 11:1-13, New International Version (NIV)
Jesus’ Teaching on Prayer
1 One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”
2 He said to them, “When you pray, say:
 “‘Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come.
3 Give us each day our daily bread.
4 Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.
And lead us not into temptation.’”
5 Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; 6 a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have no food to offer him.’ 7 And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can’t get up and give you anything.’ 8 I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your shameless audacity he will surely get up and give you as much as you need.
9 “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for[f] a fish, will give him a snake instead? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

Luke 12:22, New International Version (NIV)
Do Not Worry
22 Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear.

Matthew 7:25, New International Version (NIV)
25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.
