Many many are and have been blessed through you. You are right though, we often give out of our comfort. That is convicting. To give sacrifically means trusting God, stepping out in the flood stage Jordan before God parts the waters, believing that He will. Why is it that we so often forget how the Lord takes care of us when we take Him at His word and believe what He says about taking care of our needs, and that makes us afraid to give radically? Oh that we would all have our faith increased and not be afraid to be dangerous Christians, throwing off the yoke of worry and 'conventional' wisdom, living each moment trusting our Savior and Him alone. One day at time, right? And praise Him, praise Him for new mercies each morning! :) Kathy,

I'm stuck right now about giving of my WHOLE self. You know, picking up and being missionaries and that sort of thing. Is that what God wants? I have no idea. BUT, am I willing to give it? that's the kicker. good post. hard stuff, huh? I’m stuck right now about giving of my WHOLE self. You know, picking up and being missionaries and that sort of thing.

That was a good sermon. Isn't it odd the way we keep discovering how many ways Christ shares our lives with us? Loved the sock picture & the sentiment. Some day God will wipe all the tears from our eyes, and as we look at his hands in gratitude, we'll finally know why so many perfect white socks just up and vanished here on Earth... okay, maybe not, but it was a amusing mental image - all our missing socks waiting for us in heaven ;-) Agreed.

This is one area that I think most of us struggle on some level. Does your paster have his sermons on-line anywhere? Sounds like a wonderful sermon, Kathy.
