Dear Brothers and Sisters,
As we navigate through our financial journeys, it’s essential to ground ourselves in a belief that can transform our perspective on money and generosity. At the heart of financial stewardship lies a profound truth: everything we have comes from God.
Understanding Our Source of Abundance
All We Have Comes from God
Recognizing that our resources are gifts from God shifts our mindset. It reminds us that we are not merely self-made individuals, but rather recipients of divine blessings. This belief lays the foundation for true stewardship.
The Ability to Earn
Every opportunity to earn comes from God’s grace. He equips us with skills, talents, and opportunities to generate income. When we acknowledge this, it becomes clear that our financial successes are not solely our doing; they are part of a larger plan.
The Generosity Mindset
If we perceive ourselves as self-made, we may ask, “Why should I give?” This mindset can lead to scarcity thinking and reluctance to share with others. However:
God-Made Perspective
When we embrace the idea that we are God-made, generosity flows naturally from our hearts. We realize that sharing what we've been given is not just an obligation; it’s a joyful response to the abundance we've received.
The Joy of Giving
Generosity is a reflection of gratitude for all that God has provided. It allows us to participate in His work and bless others in meaningful ways.
Take Action Today
Let this understanding guide your financial decisions moving forward. Consider how you can practice generosity in your life, whether through tithing, supporting charitable causes, or helping those in need around you.
Embrace the journey of financial stewardship with an open heart and recognize the beauty of being both blessed and a blessing to others.
Blessings,
David Poh
