GOD HAS CALLED US INTO A WILDERNESS. WE ARE HEADED TOWARDS A PROMISED OUTCOME. WE WILL ARRIVE IF WE REMAIN FAITHFUL. ALONG THE WAY WE HAVE LEARNED A GREAT DEAL ABOUT OURSELVES, A GREAT DEAL ABOUT LIVING IN THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT'S MINISTRY. WE HAVE LEARNED A GREAT DEAL ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY AND THE GREAT OUTCOMES OF PEOPLE WHO SHARE A COMMON BELIEF, VISION, AND MISSION.
THE KEY WORD IS, "GENEROSITY" AND HOW YOUR GENEROSITY ALONG WITH FAITH CAN MOVE A MOUNTAIN. A MOUNTAIN THAT STANDS IN THE WAY OF OUR PROMISED OUTCOME. A MOUNTAIN IS BEFORE US, THE ABILITY TO MOVE A MOUNTAIN SEEMS LIKE AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK, BUT WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE EVEN MOUTNAIN MOVING.I HAVE LEARNED THAT GENEROSITY COMBINED WITH FAITH MOVES A MOUNTAIN ONE GENEROUS ACT AFTER ANOTHER. GENEROSITY MAKES OUR GOAL REACHEABLE, THE TASK ATTAINABLE, THE MOUNTAIN MOVEABLE. THE MISSION IS WORTH EVERY PENNY AND THE GREATEST MOTIVATION TO GIVE TO IT IS THE DESIRE TO BE INVOLVED IN WHAT GOD IS DOING IN THE WORLD THROUGH OUR EFFORTS, OUR FAITH, OUR DEDICATION, AND OUR SACRIFICE.
WE LEARN THAT GENEROSITY ISN'T A HEARTSTRING GOD TUGS, IT IS A WHOLE HEARTED PLUNGE INTO SACRIFICIAL GIVING AND IT'S THAT KIND OF GIVING THAT MOVES A MOUNTAIN ONE SHOVEL, ONE BUCKET, AND ONE CART AT A TIME.
