The Impact of the Gift
God has entrusted His resources to us and we are to manage them according to His desires, not ours. Our gifts are no secret to God and reflect our commitment. They're also one way we communicate to God how grateful we are. Here's a heart exam: If Jesus were seated next to you today, would your gift be any different? Are my gifts done out of the surplus of my resources? Does my giving tell God I actually rely on Him.

Giving in Grace
Paul's words to the Corinthian Christians help us grasp the truth of what Christian stewardship is, and what it is not. Christian stewardship is "the free and joyous activity of the child of God, and of God's family, the church, in managing all of life and life's resources for God's purposes." When all is said and done, Christian stewardship is not about fundraising, but faithraising. We cannot give anything to God since God is the Maker and Owner of heaven and earth. The only thing we can do is to manage faithfully and wisely what belongs to God. Stewardship begins with God's giving the life of his only Son - the greatest sacrifice.
