“All too often we regard stewardship simply as a matter of our giving to God, but this aspect is secondary. Before we can give, we must possess & before we possess we must receive.
Therefore, stewardship is, in the first place, receiving
God’s good & bounteous gifts. And once received, those gifts are not to be
used solely for our own good.
They must also be used for the benefit of others &
ultimately for the glory of God the giver. The steward needs an open hand to
receive from God & then an active hand to give to God & to others.
- Murray J. Harris (ministry127.com)
“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what
we give.” - Winston Churchill.
Col 3:23 (CSB): “Whatever you do, do it from the heart, as
something done for the Lord and not for people.”
“The happiest people on earth are the people who have
discovered the joy of giving.” - Unknown.
