“I sat with a friend who many in my community admired. He told me that whenever he tried to hold onto his money he became fraught with worry. When he gave it away to worthy charitable causes he always felt better. I asked, “You mean you feel closer to God?” He simply smiled.”
Real joy comes when we get the right desire met - the desire for God himself, for a life led by the Spirit, fulfilling not our material desires but our deepest need, which is to be in a close relationship with our Creator. That is the source of true blessing. The only source.
— Michael W. Smith
Giving rather than getting will become the guiding principle.
