#92 Faith in Giving

#92 Faith in Giving

This segment was a two-minute-take-away I delivered during my church’s service. I compared our grip on money and physical possessions to a baby’s grip on something they get ahold of. Even as week as a baby is, thy can hold on extremely tight when they are afraid of something being taken away from them! God asks us to give Him back what He has blessed us with so He can bless others. This requires faith! Once I loosened my grip and exercised my faith, God began to open up one door after another!

When we give ourselves and others permission to be authentic without judgment, it frees up unlimited potential in our relationships. That includes our relationship with self!
