Entrusted With Much: The Joy of Living GenerouslySample

Why Has God Given to Me?

God has a unique calling for your life, providing you with every skill, passion, opportunity, and gift. Everything we have comes from him, including our possessions and wealth. While not everyone is given financial abundance, God desires that all of us develop a generous heart toward him and others. Generosity is part of our identity in Christ, flowing from the understanding that God is the owner and provider of all we possess.

Generosity isn’t just about giving money – it’s about your heart. When we recognize God’s ownership, generosity becomes a joyful expression of our faith. Your ability to contribute to kingdom work through your career or resources is impactful, just like the work of pastors or missionaries is. God designed you for a purpose, and the wealth he’s entrusted to you is part of his greater plan.

So why has God entrusted you with so much? It’s not just for your pleasure – it’s so he can work through you in ways that matter for eternity. When God entrusts you with much, much is required. God has great plans for you and wants you to join him in being radically generous. Radical generosity leads to joy that far surpasses the fleeting satisfaction of holding onto money. God wants to use what he’s given you to make an eternal impact!

Reflect: How can I use the resources and talents God has entrusted to me for his greater purpose and to bless others?
