Giving isn’t so much a matter of what you have, as much as it is a matter of who has you. Your giving reveals who has your heart.

Patience is a fruit of the Spirit that grows only under trial. It is useless to pray for patience. Well, actually I encourage you to pray for patience, but I’ll tell you what, you’ll get TRIALS!

Money can buy a bed, but not sleep.  Money can buy a wedding ring, but not love.  Money can buy a clock, but not time.  Money can buy an education, but not wisdom.  Money can buy jewellery, but not beauty.  Money can buy insurance, but not safety....

Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
