"Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." --2 Cor. 9:7
If you use your income to provide only for your own needs, then why would God give you more than the bare minimum you need to cover your basic needs?
Alternately, if you regularly use your income to provide for the needs of others...won't God always bless you with extra money? You betcha!
I challenge you to use your money and stuff to make someone else's day better. Here are a few giving opportunities you might consider:
- Give to your local church
- Buy food to a local food pantry
- Donate clothes and shoes to The Salvation Army or other organization that helps needy
Lord, thank You that You generously gave Your life for us on the cross. We are willing to be Your hands and feet and to pour out Your love to those in need. In Christ's Name, Amen.
