This past weekend I gave a message at the gathering about getting uncomfortable and learning to obey God by graciously giving. We were challenged to return one of our ten cantaloupes back to God and allow him to scatter the seeds of blessings through our obedience.
I didn't have time to fully develop the message more, but this idea of giving applies in more ways than just money. This idea applies to our talents, abilities, time, our intellect, etc. In fact, the list is endless. Every thing that we have and are about is because of God's grace in our lives. And as soon as we realize this, we have no choice but to return to God what is already His and begin to live a gracious life.
Get Uncomfortable And Learn To Graciously Give!
