Love God who gives you all you have Faith in the God who is powerful and can provide for you God makes our generosity powerful God can provide for us, even in death Generous with money, time, talents and other treasure (possessions) TIP: Read “The Cheerful Giver” by Des Smith for more encouragement on generosity.
