Give the most and give your best.
Over the last few weeks, we’ve watched as people give and give and give and give. Give of themselves. Give goods. Give time. Give money. GIVE. GIVE. GIVE.
One day, however, we got a call from a local church for a container. Someone had dropped off TONS of canned goods and clothing for the relief efforts. Only problem…the food EXPIRED in 2012 and the clothes were filthy…dirty…holes in them…awful. Now, they had to get a container and take THEIR time to fill it up with all of this stuff someone dropped off to simply get rid of. They gave their least.
It made me think about how we are called to give our BEST and to give the MOST. When we come to the table stingy, withholding, full of fear that we won’t have what we need if we give, we’re actually partnering with LACK. We actually invite more of it in. We literally reap what we sow. It’s a law just like the law of gravity. Give and it will be given back to you.
Be the ones who show up and give your best and love the most and be generous with your hearts and your resources and your time and your overflow.
You will never, ever, ever regret it or miss it.
