Hey all,
Remember to pray about how much to give to YWAM Cebu for their Jesus Fiesta end of this year! We'll do a collection next Sunday, 22 Nov. Please don't feel obligated to give, only give as the Lord leads you! It's not about the amount. And put the money in an envelope preferably, so no one can't see how much you gave. And I'll get all mixed up with the envelopes so no one knows who gave what. Haha. Oh and as you pray, pray for the people there too. God brought us there to show us His heart. It'll be good to recall some faces and pray.
Since this is about giving, I'll share something I heard about giving..
I believe God is not concerned with Donation, as much as Devotion. Give out of devotion, not donation. God doesn't look for money, God looks for person who is willing to part with his money.
We've heard before "give until it hurts!". What's even better is: "give until it hurts until it doesn't hurt!" Haha. Give until money doesn't have a stranglehold over us.
When we grow up and start earning, it'll be harder to give. So it's good to tutor ourselves now - what the Lord gives, is His anyway. He gives, and He takes away.
