I Feel Like Giving

In this powerful message, we're challenged to see our feelings as more than just emotions, but as gateways to connect with God. The central theme revolves around generosity and how it's contagious, drawing from 2 Corinthians 9. We're reminded that our giving should come from the heart, not just our heads. The story of a child saving for a cruise beautifully illustrates the power of goal-setting and delayed gratification in our spiritual lives. This parallel encourages us to consider: what are we saving and sacrificing for in our spiritual journey? The message urges us to acknowledge our feelings to give, emphasizing that our seeds in the ground should match the prayers of our hearts. It's a call to push past our normal limits in generosity, not just with money, but with time and energy too. This teaching invites us to reflect on how we can be more generous in all aspects of our lives, trusting that God will provide abundantly when we give with a cheerful heart.
