The more we draw near to God, the more our priorities and values start to reflect His. It causes us to stop looking at ourselves, and start looking out for others. When we give like God does, and we honor Him with that giving, it draws us closer to Him. His generosity is sacrificial and counter-cultural. Thankfully, God modeled a different way to live when He sacrificed His greatest treasure for us.
The problem comes when our things have us.
What’s your most prized possession? There’s nothing wrong with having things, or with enjoying them.
