Summary

What God gives to you, he wants to give through you. God is looking for people He can use. Will you be a cup or will you be a straw? If you're a cup, you just get filled up and that's it. But when you’re a straw God can channel His blessing through you to other people. When you're going through a tough time you still can say: God I don't have much but I'm willing to share. When you do this, God promises three things; first - you will grow spiritually, second - He will use you to meet the needs of other people, and third - you'll bring Him glory. When you give away what you have, God will open the door of blessings in your life in ways you can’t imagine. 🖤 B Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
