Giving is something that slips the minds of most people. This is an issue for college students specifically (I’m finding that out first hand). But the impact of having a heart poised toward generosity is so important for a healthy and maturing faith. This basic realization that all of us need to fully understand, is that our lives are in the hands of the Creator God. Therefore, everything that we have has been give to us through his kindness and intentional giving. Jobs, friends, money, time, talents, and the list goes on and on.
Seeing everything through this new lens allows for giving to be something more than just the monotonous dropping money in the offering plate on Sunday. And giving also extends way past money (all though that is an important part of our relationship with God). Allow him to begin changing the way you thing about your time and recourses. Surrendering everything to him is the start of transforming your life into a living sacrifice. And that’s what we are called to be as followers of Jesus, are we not?
Matthew 6:21 says, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Pray and ask God to identify where your treasure really is. And if it’s not in him, than ask for the desire to pursue him above all else. Cast aside every distraction and run a race that is pleasing and holy in the eyes of our King in the weeks and months ahead!
