Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. (2 Corinthians 9:6)Prayer Direction
Pray that you will learn to see that all you have is a gift from God and to be deeply thankful. Ask God to grow your hunger to share what He has placed in your care and to increase your joy as you learn to be generous.“Live It!” Challenge
One Good Deed: Make a decision to offer one act of generous care to someone in a time of need this week. Set aside an appropriate amount of money and keep your eyes and heart open to the leading of the Holy Spirit. God will show you the need and you get the joy of responding!Small Group Discussion
