One day, when I was in a subway station and I felt so thirsty, in there I found a vending machine that has bottled water and I put my coins in according to the instruction and press the button for the item that I want, then waited for a couple of second and finally come out the item from what I needed to drink.  It is a simple picture when we give to God with a joyful heart, by giving your smile or ears to be a listener or a helping hand or encouragement words for your love one, talent, money – to God means to His ministry / missions, the poor including your parent or sibling if they are in that condition, the needs of orphans and widows – and we should expect to receive something good, as Jesus said on Luk 6:38’’Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, shall they give into your bosom. For with what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again.’’ We certainly expect to get a bottle of water from the vending machine, when we give to God and share to him about our needs or problems, why often do not we reach out by faith to receive a miracle answer from His hand?  Do we trust a vending machine more than we trust our God who is alive and never change of his great promises? As Jesus said that I am the same today, yesterday, or last month, or last year, or 2000 years ago, tomorrow or next week or next 50 years, forever. (Esther)
