Do you want to be a magician? Have you always wanted to do a magic trick? Here is an idea: be generous. It is amazing to me the way you learn you have more than enough when you give more than you think you can. It is easy to give a little bit of what we have. It is easy to give our left-overs after we have been well taken care of and are stuffed. It is not as easy to give when it hurts or to give before you get. It is not as easy to give off the top, instead of off the bottom. Generosity as a fruit of the Spirit never returns to us empty. When we are generous as an act of gratitude for God’s generosity to us, we always find our resources multiplied. This is the only area in scripture where God says, “Test me.” Give generously, and see the way in which the blessing is returned to you.
