A child who’d just learned to tie his shoes was crying, so his Mom asked, ‘Is it that hard?’’ ‘No,’ he sobbed, ‘but now I’ll have to do it for the rest of my life!’ Is that how you feel about giving? You want to learn, but you’re not sure about doing it for the rest of your life? Some swallows were teaching their young to fly from a branch overhanging a lake. One by one they pushed each of the chicks off the end until, somewhere between the branch and the water, they discovered they could fly. Their parents knew what they didn’t - until you learn to fly, you’re not really living! Guess what? Giving is an action designed into you by God; it’s the air into which you were born! But until you realize that, you’ll cling desperately to everything you can. Listen: ‘Whoever sows generously will also reap generously’ (2 Corinthians 9:6). Everything begins with a seed. Your seed is anything that can multiply: love, time, or money. Your harvest is what comes back to you in benefits like joy, relationships, or finances. If what you have today is not enough to be a harvest, use it as a seed and allow God to multiply it back to you. Try out-giving God. Go ahead, you’ll love the results! Giving is like flying; only when you let go of what you’re clinging to and launch out do you realize, ‘This is how I was born to live!’
