"If you have an abundance of good treasure in your heart, why aren't you sharing it with others, more? I gave to you in abundance, and it was not meant to be hoarded. Of the abundance of your heart, speak. Share your treasures."

Yesterday, God reminded me of the many gifts I have been blessed with. I have always lived in an environment where those about me know and love the Lord and, as such, I have been able to readily embrace the Gospel of Jesus Christ and experience the peace provided through it. I also have a knowledge of my Father in Heaven and the truth of being a literal daughter of God. I am so happy because of these beautiful gifts in my life. Not that life is easy, because it's truly not, but the manner of life I live grants me peace, joy, and love through all difficulties because I understand the purpose and meaning of my existence and I have access to the richness of God's influence to carry me through the darkest days and nights.

God's Spirit guided me to Luke 6:45:

A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

Then this thought was presented to me:

If you have an abundance of good treasure in your heart, why aren't you sharing it with others, more? I gave to you in abundance, and it was not meant to be hoarded. Of the abundance of your heart, speak. Share your treasures.
Woah...convicted.

So, this ministry is born out of this experience with God and the realization that I do have an abundance of good treasure and truly do want to share it. Of course, no one has to receive it, but I offer what I have with gratitude to God for having given it to me in the first place.
