"It was very good of you to help me in my troubles. You Philippians know very well that when I left Macedonia in the early days of preaching the Good News, you were the only church to help me; you were the only ones who shared my profits and losses.

More than once when I needed help in Thessalonica, you sent it to me. It is not that I just want to receive gifts; rather, I want to see profit added to your account. Here, then, is my receipt for everything you have given me — and it has been more than enough!

I have all I need now that Epaphroditus has brought me all your gifts. They are like a sweet-smelling offering to God, a sacrifice which is acceptable and pleasing to him."

(Philippians 4.14-18 GNB)

I often wondered whether my giving to a specific ministry matters? Did it have any impact? Was that the best option amongst a myriad of ministries who need support?

I do not know and may never know.

Everything and all that I have belong to him. I am only a channel. God engineered the circumstances that led me to give and I trusted his leading.

He knew the impact he wanted. And it would happen as he planned.
