Just the very act of letting go of money, or some other treasure, does something within us. It destroys the demon 'greed'". - Richard Foster

And Abram gave him a tenth of everything. Genesis 14:20

Today's Thought (from 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader by John Maxwell)

Nothing speaks to others more loudly than generosity from a leader. True generosity isn't an occasional event. It comes from the heart and permeates every aspect of a leader's life, touching their time, money, talents, and possessions. Effective leaders, the kind people want to follow, don't gather things just for themselves; they do it in order to give to others.

To cultivate the quality of generosity in your life, do the following:

1. Be grateful for whatever you have.
2. Put people first.
3. Don't allow the desire for possessions to control you.
4. See money as a resource
5. Develop the habit of giving.

The only way to maintain an attitude of generosity is to make it your habit to give - your time, attention, money, and resources.

Father in Heaven; Help me to be more generous than I've ever been! Thank You for blessing me with ALL that I have. I will be mindful today to give of my time, attention, money & resources and NOT count the cost, In Jesus name. Amen.
