A Generous Plan - 2 Corinthians 8 ESV
How would someone describe your attitude when it comes to giving? Not just money but also your time, abilities, attention, and skills? Would "generous" come to their mind? Or do they see you as being selfish, stingy, and close-fisted? When it comes to our heart and mindset towards giving anything away, we should seek to have the same approach that Jesus did - complete surrender and willingness to sacrifice. God wants us to not only be generous with our wealth but how we spend our time and resources He has given to us. Let us ask God to give us "generous" lives.
Reflection Questions:
Which of these do you find the hardest to be "generous" with: time, money, resources, skills, abilities, or attention? Why is that?
What steps can you begin to take in just ONE of those areas to be more generous in? Write down verses that talk about putting your faith in God and CHOOSE to believe that if we give to God, He will give MORE back to us than we could ever have imagined.
