The Story Continues: Extravagant in Giving
God has given us many blessings and thus many ways we might give to others. Jane explores 3 different giving mindsets – the bag (Haggai 1.6), the basket (Luke 6.38) and the barn (Proverbs 3.9-10). We’re called to give extravagantly and trust that God will give to us abundantly.
I thought this to be an excellent insight into the attitude and generosity behind our gifting, not treating it as a tithed annex of our faith but a deep filled spiritual issue. When we look at a comparative measure of our resources, both natural and monetary, in relation to others it is a big challenge for us. It is comforting to know that what we give or do currently for others is a real blessing to them and us. Even just a smile goes a long way!
