Help us to give generously.

Oh Lord,

How we have experienced your generosity! Thank for the abundant life you have given us. Today we have been confronted with the truth that we are like 2 year olds, holding our possessions close and crying out, "Mine!" Forgive us, Lord, for holding tightly to the gifts you have given us. Help us to release our hold, to open wide our hands to share with others. May we give generously, so that like those in Acts, no one will be in need. Begin in me. Begin in our church.

Thank you, God.
Amen!
