Why does it feel so good deep down inside when we give? The Word of God says it is better to give than to receive. Giving is optional. You choose to give or not to give. When we choose to give, it touches the very essence of our soul and pleases God.
Level 4 stewards give wisely of their time, talents or spiritual gifts and their financial resources so that their choices will honor God. They are so connected to the Source, that they have learned to set boundaries that helps them grow spiritually.
Is it possible to give too much time and energy pursuing material riches? Jesus the CEO of the universe tells the story of a business man who was prospering financially.
All his time and energies were preoccupied with how to manage his overflow. Can you imagine having so much wealth that you, your children, your grandchildren, your great grandchildren and your great great grandchildren could not spend it all in a lifetime?
Jesus calls this business man a fool because he did not recognize his soul was bankrupt and his spiritual life was in debt. This obviously successful entrepreneur was blinded by his addiction for more and more wealth.
I believe Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey and Warren Buffet all recognize that stewardship is a matter of the soul. Where you spend you time, share your talents or spiritual gifts and give your financial support tells the world what is important to you.
I personally believe that God blesses you so that you can be a blessing to others. I want to encourage you to make giving a part of your spiritual DNA today. You will be amazed at what God will grow in your life when you sow into the lives of meaningful others. It’s a matter of the soul.
Thank you for stopping by. We welcome you to post how giving as a part of your spiritual DNA has helped you to become a better steward of your wealth.
