Philippians 4:19 My God will satisfy every need of yours in Christ Jesus according to the riches of his glory.
Looking at how Uncle Milne kept his home open to one young person after another for more than half a century, I couldn't help but reflect on my own faith. We often think that we only feel secure when we have enough resources, and even when working for God, we habitually use our perceived scarcity to limit God's abundance. However, true faith is like his: daring to open the door for love, giving without reservation, and firmly believing that the Heavenly Father will never fail.
Dear Heavenly Father, grant me the simple yet steadfast faith of Uncle Milne. When I face scarcity in life or ministry, do not let me fall into despair, but firmly believe that "He who called me is faithful, and He will do it." Expand my heart, let my life also become a home without walls, filling the needs around me with Your glorious abundance, and solely relying on Your wondrous provision. Amen.
