Generosity is an amazing opportunity for true discipleship. As in the story above it merely reveals what is deeper inside and what we value. It’s also a place where God is incredibly patient. In what ways does your generosity enhance or diminish your trust in God? What is one step you can take to move towards trusting Him more through generosity?
Notes
Financial discussions are always such a great opportunity for growth. There is so much freedom when we come to know Who supplies our needs. The prodigal son is a great picture of how this all plays out. We see that all of our tendencies are to live for us all while seeing the graciousness of God.
