March 4, 2025: God’s Generosity is Beyond Measure

-

 


"Truly I tell you," Jesus replied, "no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age… and in the age to come eternal life." – Mark 10:29-30

One evening, a struggling young man named David sat alone, questioning his decision to leave a high-paying job to serve in ministry. His bank account was empty, and he wondered if following God was truly worth the sacrifice. That night, a knock came at his door. A friend unexpectedly brought him groceries and an envelope with just enough money to pay his rent. Tears filled David’s eyes—God had provided.

God’s Rewards are Greater than our Sacrifices

Many fear losing worldly security when choosing to follow Jesus. But Christ assures us that no sacrifice for His sake goes unrewarded. What we give up, God replaces with greater blessings, often in unexpected ways.

  • "You cannot outgive God." Whatever we surrender—be it wealth, relationships, or comfort—God returns abundantly.
  • "He replaces loss with spiritual family." Many who have left home for the Gospel find a new family in Christ, filled with love and support.
  • "Eternal life is the greatest reward." The blessings of this life are temporary, but God’s greatest gift is eternal fellowship with Him.

God’s generosity is limitless. When we trust Him completely, we experience the joy of His provision. Have you ever seen God replace something you surrendered? Trust Him—He always gives back more!

  As we enter the sacred season of Lent, we are reminded of Jesus’ response to the disciples of John when they asked why His disciples did not fast: “Then the disciples of John came to Him, saying, ‘Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but Your disciples do not fast?’ And Jesus said to them, ‘Can the wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast.’” (Matthew 9:14-15) Lent is traditionally a time of fasting, prayer, and almsgiving—a season of drawing closer to Christ by letting go of distractions. But beyond fasting from food, what else might the Lord be calling us to fast from in this Lent of 2025? 1. Fasting from Negativity We live in a world saturated with criticism, fear, and doubt. Lent is a time to fast from negativity—complaints, gossip, and discouragement. Instead, let’s embrace words of encouragement and gratitude, spreading hope in a world that desperately need...

  Amidst the spiritual fervor of Kumbh Mela, where millions gather in faith, an act of love and compassion quietly unfolds. Nazareth Hospital, Prayagraj, St. Anthony’s Convent, Prayagraj (Canossian Sisters) and St. Mary’s Convent, Prayagraj (CJ Sisters) step forward, distributing food to pilgrims, serving humanity beyond the barriers of religious boundaries. In a world often divided by beliefs, this gesture stands as a powerful reminder that kindness knows no religion. It is a reflection of faith in action—caring for fellow human beings simply because they are hungry, tired, and in need of compassion. At Kumbh Mela, where faith is celebrated in myriad forms, Nazareth Hospital chooses to celebrate humanity.

  As Valentine’s Day approaches, hearts, flowers, and love notes fill the air. But amidst the celebration of love, have you ever wondered—could Jesus be your Valentine? Valentine’s Day is about love, and who loves you more than Jesus? He laid down His life for you, loves you unconditionally, and is always by your side. His love is constant, never fading, and not dependent on how perfect you are. When earthly love falls short or feels distant, His love remains steadfast. When you feel unworthy, He calls you precious. When you feel alone, He reminds you, “I am with you always” (Matthew 28:20).

You might just find the truest love story of all.
