Meditate. What and how do you give?

As the Light of the World shines into your heart...
may you generously give of your
time
talents
money
and...love.

Light shines in the darkness for the godly. They are generous, compassionate, and righteous. Good comes to those who lend money generously and conduct their business fairly. Such people will not be overcome by evil. Those who are righteous will be long remembered. They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the LORD to care for them. Psalm 112:4-7

When was the last time you loaned money or anything to someone? Did you do it willingly or grudgingly? Consider that everything really belongs to the Lord.

Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don't give reluctantly or in response to pressure. "For God loves a person who gives cheerfully." And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. As the Scriptures say, "They share freely and give generously to the poor. Their good deeds will be remembered forever." 2 Corinthians 9:6-9

Give generously—whether it is a gift or a loan. It belongs to God anyway…so just let go…and let God bless others. Build your relationship with God as you obediently serve Him.

Prayer ~ Lord, thank you for this reminder that everything is Yours. Let me share generously with others. Most importantly, give me boldness to share You, the Gospel of Good News, with others that they will have eternal life and live in obedience to You. 

Verses of Salvation ~ So never be ashamed to tell others about our Lord. And don't be ashamed of me, either, even though I'm in prison for him. With the strength God gives you, be ready to suffer with me for the sake of the Good News. For God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did this, not because we deserved it, but because that was his plan from before the beginning of time--to show us his grace through Christ Jesus. And now he has made all of this plain to us by the appearing of Christ Jesus, our Savior. He broke the power of death and illuminated the way to life and immortality through the Good News. 2 Timothy 1:8-10 (Underlined for emphasis.)

 Think generous, not stingy
