Hold Your Stuff Loose

When God increases our capacity (resources, favor, wisdom, giftings, peace, and (fill in the blank)) it’s the best feeling in the world! We feel like you’re on track with your purpose and we are cool with God. So we are planning our trip to Vegas, making power moves and just soaking it all in.
Stopping here is how we get in trouble.
You see pressed down, shaken together, overflowing (Luke 6:38) is not so we can get excited for our own gain, but for what God can get through us. Am I saying give away your whole paycheck? Only if you feel the Holy Spirit prompting you too and trust me you will know.
However, there are causes every one of us feels passionate about and touches our soul every time we see it or hear about it. We feel that way not just so you can have a moment with yourself, but because you are being prompted to make the situation better whether giving money, resources, time, a kind word, whatever is in your capacity. Let’s all practice being givers.
