Money can be a useful tool, but when it goes from being a tool to being something that controls you, that’s when it becomes your master. A good test to see who’s in charge—you or your stuff—is to take an honest look at how generous you are.
Does the idea of giving something away make you want to cling even tighter to it? Are you afraid that not being able to buy something or have something will impact your value or your worth as a person? Ask God to help you see your money and your things the way He sees them—as tools that can be used to serve others. And the next time you’re feeling like you aren’t enough because of what you have or don’t have, remember that your worth doesn’t come from what you do or don’t have. It comes from the God who made and loves you.

About this Plan
We all have a tendency to walk into a room asking questions like, “Who is like me?” or “Who is better than/worse than/different than me?” As we’ll see in this 21-day devotional, comparison not only keeps us from liking others, it holds us back from being able to like ourselves! And the further we move away from comparison and toward contentment, the more we’ll discover, “There’s no one like me.”
