God influences the world through his people. God gives to you so he can give through you. The Bible tells us that everything we have is a gift from God. James 1:17 says that “every good and perfect gift is from above…” As you give, the world is changed for the glory of God: the good news is preached, lives are touched, people are fed, churches are built; and you, in turn, carry the blessing of God in order to give again. So go ahead. Accept God’s invitation. Start giving faithfully and watch what he does in and through your life.
