M Would you like a good summer read about generosity? The Bible is full of blessings received, both by the giver and the receiver when we are generous. We like ABUNDANT, by Todd Harper.
V Why does God tell us that its more blessed to give than receive? Acts 20: 35. What’s great about having less if you are that giver? That is a counter-cultural message. Get more, keep more. Giving can be obedient and reluctant or crazy joyful and exuberant. Its all God’s, his to direct, not ours to hoard. Todd Harper states he has never met an unhappy generous person or a former giver.
M Thank God if you have been blessed with wealth. Explore where you want to give, give lavishly and experience joy.
