Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously...Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanks giving to God.
These verses though familiar to me really stood out to me when I read it this time b/c they are verses I want to live by. I want to always "sow" generously....to me this means not just give generously in the monetary sense (though that is important too), but to give of my time, heart and skills generously. I feel like I've been holding myself back recently when it comes to giving of myself, and I don't want to do that. I think I hold back for fear of being hurt or disappointed, but I know that I need to trust that God, who provides for all my needs, will use it for His kingdom and will use it to grow His kingdom.
