Are You Generous?
Hey Friends,
If you're a Christian and you've been taught that you "have to" give or you "have to" tithe, I have a question for you:
What if there was no expectation on you to give?
What if you were never taught to give?
Would you give?
Would you be generous?
God Himself is a giver. Since you've become a believer have you let His nature rise up on the inside of you?
Commune with God. Let His desires rise up on the inside of you. He'll put a desire in you that He wants you to follow through on. If it's to give something somewhere; be encouraged: DO IT! You'll be so glad to have followed that desire.
But make sure you give what you really desire to give, this will be so rewarding to you.
My wife, Nancy, is a real giver. She has it so strong in her heart to give. Earlier today there was a lady who stopped by. Nancy just couldn't let her leave without giving her something. She looked around and all she could find was a big package of paper towels. So that's what she gave her. The woman was blessed. So was Nancy. I believe God was blessed too, because someone trusted Him. They trusted that His provision would continue to come and they gave, which is very close to His heart.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world
that he gave
his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall not perish
but have eternal life.
Blessings
