But just as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in your love for us—see that you also excel in this grace of giving - 2 Corinthians 8:7
What if you could live a life without fear? What if you practiced real faith? What if you really believed in the promises of God? Real faith collides with God's faithfulness through one powerful practice...GENEROSITY.
My challenge to you is to join me on this 21-day journey of generosity. Each day you will be given two tools to help you in your pursuit of the generous life. The first is a short devotion from God’s word that speaks to Biblical generosity. Read, reflect and react to the passages. The second is a giving challenge that will require you to give something…time, talent, treasure, touch or thought…to another person in the name of Jesus Christ. You will also be able to blog your experience with many others who are on the journey!
- Love God.
- Live Simply.
- Give Generously.
Each week we will focus on one of those three topics to see what the word of God has to say about each. Each day we ask that you do four things:
1) Read the passage and the devotion (if you have time look up the additional verses).
2) Reflect on what you have read and apply it to your thinking actions and relationships.
3) Remember to pass it on to someone else who may need an encouraging word!
4) Take the Generosity Challenge each day.
(Each day you will be given a task to accomplish as you walk in this journey with us. Don’t fight it – just do it! Then report it to friends or to the church through blog or e-mail.)
I believe this journey could be the transformation you are looking for in your walk with God. It will refresh your perspective and rejuvenate your life. I can’t wait to see what God does in you!
