Faithful Sowing

A Message from the Director

One of the things I love about generous people is their faithfulness. They plant seeds of generosity often and in a variety of places.

This is quite different than those who don’t have a generous mindset. For them, there’s always a reason to procrastinate or withhold. They say, “I would give, except…” or “I will give when…”

It reminds me of Ecclesiastes 11:4: “Whoever watches the wind will not plant; whoever looks at the clouds will not reap.” (NIV)

Where others depend on ideal giving circumstances, generous people just get out there and do it. They are at peace knowing some seeds will germinate and others won’t. Therefore, they faithfully sow whenever and wherever the Lord leads them, trusting He will provide the growth.

Thank you for being among the generous people we love to serve! I pray this issue inspires, encourages and instructs you as you faithfully plant seeds of generosity.
