"Don’t ask for just a few." — 2 Kings 4:3
Did you ever stop to think of things from God’s point of view. Here He is, limitless love, wanting to pour Himself out into our lives. There’s only one problem: our limited capacity to receive. So what does God do? He increases our capacity. He wants to give us more.
In this story, a woman was in a panic. Her sons were about to sold into slavery to cover her late husband’s debt. She had nothing — no money, no power, and very little hope. But God said, "I can turn this around for you and give you more than could ask or imagine. But, to do that, we need to increase your capacity to receive." (No, you won’t find those words in this passage, but I’m reading between the lines.) The prophet told her to go and ask her neighbors for empty jars. She needed something to contain the miracle. A lot of something.
This is what God does. He turns things around. And when He does, He does it in a big way. Make room for God’s love — make lots of room.

What happens when you partner with Dwight Clough Ministries?
Victims of violent crimes and survivors of abuse are finding peace,
wholeness, the power to forgive and the strength to set boundaries.
Those ensnared by addictions are finding freedom. Marriages are being
restored. Families are strengthened. Christian brothers and sisters in
restricted lands who face persecution are finding strength and
encouragement. Young believers are learning how to walk with the Lord,
and people are coming into the faith for the first time. None of this
happens as a result of one person’s efforts, but rather this is God’s
work as He blesses the sacrifice of many people including yourself. We
partner with you, with other ministries, and, most significantly, with
the Lord. That’s how the supernatural happens.
