Acts 10:4 "Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God."
Let me try to explain with my pen
A story told in Acts chapter 10
A story about Cornelius
A story that shows God still sees us
An angel appeared in a vision
God took notice of his decision
The angel said God has heard your prayer
And has seen your gifts to the poor you share
Cornelius had been a generous man
God included him in his divine plan
God hears our prayers among the living
But He also sees when we are giving
In being generous we can resist
We can be stingy and tighten our fists
It's not about giving to just one church
For the Spirit's leading you have to search
Generosity in secret is best
When we step out we will be blessed
No need to announce when we give and fast
Or declare it with a trumpet blast
Generosity now seems to be lost
Many live for self and don't count the cost
God does not stand over us with a rod
But know you can never out give God
