“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” 2 Corinthians 9:7 (NIV)
Today, determine ways you can give to others by not spending a penny!
Make up coupons for Christmas gifts, birthday gifts of just “any old day” gifts” for an act of service you are willing to perform for someone you love. Think big!
Consider what would minister to the individual, even if it is something you do not enjoy! For a child, spend time playing their favorite sport with them or a round of a video game. For a parent, offer to do an extra chore. For a sibling, take over their chore for the entire day. For a neighbor, rake up the leaves in their yard.
Remember to have a cheerful attitude and a happy heart while you are serving!
Heavenly Father, I am excited about this challenge. I do not have to be rich to be generous! I can give of my time, my talents and my resources. Reveal to me who needs to be blessed today and show me the gift that will minister to his/her heart.
