New area of giving

New area of giving  -  Forty

     The Lord is calling His people to a new area of Giving.  It is more than resources.  It is your time and your talents.  Be assured the Lord will one day expect an accounting of all that we have done.  This accounting is not about obligation but rewards.  He will also in that day check your motives. 

     Giving starts with faith which responds to the word of promise and the expression of divine will.  You give because you believe in the Lord’s abundant harvest and you believe that as you give it will be given unto you.  Next, you give because you love the Lord.  His love has been shed abroad in our hearts.  You know that love gives and love shares.  Thirdly, you give because of obedience.  You are committed to a higher authority which is the Lord.  You give out of gladness to the divine will.  You have been given so much and in return you give.  When you give it adds fruit to your account and you are sowing into eternity.  You give gladly and cheerfully.  Your motives are one of purity and love to the divine purpose and will.  We are called to be stewards of the manifold grace of God.  We chose to give because He first loved us.  You give because you are a faithful servant.  Lastly, we give out of wisdom.  We give according to what we have and not according to what we do not have.   We give our time, talents and resources to God because He has done so much for us and in return out of love and gratitude we give for His praise and glory.  So that which we have we give unto Him and bless those around you for the glory of God.
