The practice of giving

If you read the Sermon on the Mount in Matt 5-7 you can clearly see a lifestyle that Jesus taught His followers to live. Jesus calls us to live humbly and to go low. He calls us to live a life of praying, fasting and giving. 

I have in the past year learned what it means to really live a lifestyle of giving. It's more than just giving a tithe or offering at church. It's about being willing to share everything you have with someone that has a need, even if you don't have much yourself. Don't wait until you have money !! Here is an exercise for you, practice giving away something to somebody every day. Give away clothes or share your food, or even harder, give away your rent money or your computer!!  Let resources flow through you. The best way to break free from fear of lack is to give freely. When I look for ways "to give" instead of ways "to get" I'm not paralyzed by fear. This is the wisdom for today. Instead of being afraid of economic problems, start giving more and see God move !!
