Putting our money where our hearts are.
Here’s a post I wanted to highlight. It was written by a full-time IHOP-KC prayer missionary. I’ve heard Mike Bickle preach on this before but I really enjoyed Amanda’s perspective.
I am personally challenged by this message of giving out of my affection for the Lord and not out of my rightful-do or my overflow of abundance..(hehe) My cry before the Lord is God, make my free to give! When the rubber meets the road it’s always much better to surrender the goods because it really does let the heart soar.
I may not have carts full of gold and silver to dedicate, but the Lord has entrusted me with certain strengths and resources. Money, time, energy, effort, prayers, service, planning — David sunk all of that and more into the building of the Temple. To whatever measure of those things I have been given, I want to be radically, generously the same way. I want my heart to be fully invested in the work of the Lord, so that I keep looking for opportunities to sow into it with my strength. Taken from http://amandabeattie.wordpress.com
