Generous Believer

Are you generous?  I so want to be.  I hate the desire to hoard from within my heart.  I want to be someone who is generous with money, possession, time and prayers.  How about you?  All throughout scripture we read about a generous God who desires His people to be generous themselves.  He not only desires it, He practices it.  He gave us this beautiful earth to enjoy.  He gave us the ability to live life.  He provides us with whatever we need.  He provides us with relationships.  He provides us with money.  He provides us with meaning in life.  He is generous and He wants us to reflect that same generosity.  But He leaves how much we are generous up to us.  2 Corinthians 9:6-7 or click to view http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Corinthians+9%3A6-7&version=NIV

Paul tells us that if we give little, we will receive little.  If we give much, we will receive much.  How much will I give?  How generous will I be?

All through out this September I'm preaching on the subject of giving.  Are we generous people?  As you listen to these talks, consider how God's Spirit is speaking to your heart about your level of generosity.  Is He telling you to open your hands a little more?
