This couldn't have come at a better time. I'm currrently being challenged with the concept of giving relationally. I love to give. It always brings me such joy to spend my money on others. However, a recent set of events has made me unable to do so. I can't even pay my trip off, much less afford to buy things for others. But as Into the Wild said, it's not all about these things. The world is trying to satisfy itself with things. Whatever happened to real gifts; relational gifts? Why not spend on others through acts of service? Why not give away some of the possessions you already own? Why not challenge yourself to reflect an act of generosity such as the one God showed some 2000 years ago? I guess the Lord has taken so much of my financial security away so that I may find security in Him, and allow more of his character to move in my life. Bring it on.
Luke 12:33-34
Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
