21 Days of Selfess LivingSample

Sometimes we don’t know how to be generous because we feel like we don’t have much to give. One barrier could be that we don’t have much financial margin.

The truth of the matter is that God has blessed each of us in ways that we sometimes overlook. Today’s passage is also from Peter’s letter (like yesterday’s passage), and it encourages us to take an inventory of what God has given us and reminds us that we are blessed to be a blessing.

Read 1 Peter 4:8-10.
