It's just where we are...

Although I’m in a teaching series about generosity, today’s Whisper chasing is not an extension of yesterday’s teaching…..it’s just where we are right now. It’s what life on the Whisper trail looks like for Kim and I.

We can’t get away from these four words: grace….generous….grateful….and trust.

I don’t know if it’s the questions….or maybe the answers these four words create that are causing so much refletion.

Why is God so generous to me?

What am I supposed to do with the overflow of His grace in my life?

If a generous heart is a reflection of a grateful heart….how grateful or I mean generous….or maybe I do mean grateful…..am I to God for His grace….I mean generosity….or maybe I do mean grace…..in my life? (Is that still a question or a statement now?!)

See what I mean? But we love it. It’s so cool I don’t know what to do with it…except chase it.

I can’t figure out where grace turns into generosity or is a result of gratefulness…..or where gratefulness spills over into grace which really is just another version of being generous.

I don’t know.

But I don’t really care either.

I just really like what it’s doing inside me…inside us. It’s released us in a new way. So new, I can’t explain it yet.

Whatever it’s inviting us to…we know it requires that we grow in our trust in God. Not sure where….not sure how…..but I’m convinced we can’t go wherever there is….without growing in trust.

We’ll see…..
