“And there arose a fierce gale of wind, and the waves were breaking over the boat so much that the boat was already filling up. Jesus Himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke Him and said to Him, ‘Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?’ And He got up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, ‘Hush, be still.’ And the wind died down and it became perfectly calm.” 
Mark 4:37-39

“As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed was imploring Him that he might accompany Him. And He did not let him, but He said to him, ‘Go home to your people and report to them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He had mercy on you.’ And he went away and began to proclaim in Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed.”  Mark 5:18-20


Before you became a child of God, your name was not written in the Lamb’s book of life. You were on your way to eternal torment, separated from God; there was nothing good in you, no holiness, no righteousness. You were nothing.

But by the grace of a loving Father and by His omnipotent power, He reached out to you in your sinfulness (vile wickedness), forgave you of your sin, and cleaned up your life. He wrote your name in the Lamb’s book of life, filled you with the Holy Spirit, reconciled you unto Himself, and made you a child of God! Friend, nothing greater will ever happen to you!

Here’s what you do with great blessings from God - you share them; you give them away. And as you do, they grow deeper within you. The more you give your blessings away (that is, share your life with others, tell your testimony of God’s saving grace), the greater it is multiplies in your own life.

Has God calmed a troubled sea that raged in your heart? Has He
done a transforming work in your spirit, and much like the Gerasene demoniac, you now know His peace and tranquility? Don’t keep
the faith - share it!


Is your life an overflowing and endless source of God’s blessing to others?
