Always enough.

Abundance thinking at its finest.

Rolland and Heidi Baker
Always Enough: God’s Miraculous Provision among the
Poorest Children on Earth

"I (Rolland) always wanted to believe and live the
Sermon on the Mount, but I was usually told that it
did not mean all that I thought it meant and that I
needed to be practical. I would read the Scriptures
longingly, trying to imagine how wonderful it would be
not to worry about anything, safe and secure in the
presence of Jesus all the time. Miracles would be
normal. Love would be natural. We could always give
and never lose. We could be lied to, cheated and
stolen from, and yet we would always come out ahead.
We would never have to take advantage of anyone or
have any motive but to bless other people. Rather
than always making contingency plans in case Jesus
didn’t do anything, we could count on Him continually.
We, our lives and all that we preach and provide
would not be for sale, but would be given freely, just
as we have received freely. Our hearts would be
carefree in the love of our Father in heaven, who
always knows what we need, and we could get on with
the glorious business of seeking first His Kingdom and
His righteousness. There would always be enough!
"In time I realized that the worst possible fate
would be to miss all of this."
