God is the God of all grace! (1 Pet. 5:10) He likes to provide, bless, and empower. One of God's preferred ways to achieve these three things is through us; He wants us to be conduits of His blessing. Like the loyal stewards in the parable of the talents (Matt. 25), when we are faithful in freely and faithfully using what He has given us to administer, He rewards us with more to utilize to benefit others and bring Him glory. As we give, share, and bless, God continues to supply us with more than we can fathom! (cf. 2 Cor. 9:6-11 & Eph. 3:20-21)

Prayer

Father, please help me open my heart and be a more giving person. I want to use the many gifts and resources You have given me to bless others and bring glory to You. Please give me the strength to not be afraid to use what You've given me in bold and extravagant ways to serve You. I know I can't give more than You when my heart is clean and I share Your grace. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
