Beloved of God~
For your thought in this season after Pentecost:
Happy are they who have not walked in the counsel of the wicked, nor lingered in the way of sinners, nor sat in the seats of the scornful!
--Psalm 1:1

Giving, Growing, Grateful in faith 2020 - Week 2 |
|
The Apostle Paul tells us that “Each one must give as they have decided in their heart, not under guilt or obligation, for God loves a cheerful giver.” (2 Corinthians 9:7).
Scripture invites us to prayerfully consider all that we have been given by God, and then to “decide in our hearts” what the Spirit is calling us to give. The spiritual journey is about continually growing in faith and trusting in the Lord to be our strength and our security. The tithe is a goal based on the witness of Scripture. It is not meant as a harsh requirement nor as a source of shame or guilt. It is God’s gracious invitation to join our resources to God’s work in the world as an act of thanksgiving and worship. This year, amid so much uncertainty, our call is to continue to grow through the practices of Giving, Growing and being Grateful in faith.
