Last night we kicked off our December series with a challenge to make our giving lists a little larger than our wish lists because our God is all about giving. He gave to us regardless of if we were/are good or not. When we give, we act as God does. True joy is found in giving.
"In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ Acts 20:35
- God didn't give what He had leftover. He gave His first and His best.
- Meeting a physical need opens up the door to meet a spiritual need.
- Giving isn't always comfortable. Sometimes it can be painful and uncomfortable to stretch out our arms but giving points to people and receiving points to ourselves.
- Most of our spiritual growth happens when we get out of our comfort zone!
- Wherever your treasure is, your heart will be also. Whatever you want to have a heart for, invest your time and energy into that.
- We were bought as we are. With all of our faults, defects, & failures. He paid the highest price for us.
