tithing promise fulfilled

TITHING PROMISE:
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it. (Malachi 3:10)

I finally realise what the fulfilment of this promise looks like in my life. It's my son.


I prayed about tithing last month and I said to the LORD what does that mean 'the floodgates of heaven'? So I was starting to wonder what this looked like. Whenever I have committed to a church I tithe because I love that promise. Very rarely does the LORD say TEST ME. My favourite verse Romans 12:2 is another.

I was looking at my son this week and the LORD put this verse in my head...'the floodgates of heaven'. I suddenly realised having Caleb was the floodgates of heaven opening for me.
I struggled for 5 years to have a child and I lost a child. But here is my son. This little being is the LORD's gift to me and my husband. He's ours to take care of, to love, to protect. God created this vulnerable child just for us. He trusts us with him. I have in my hands a piece of heaven.
