We often look at Christianity through a moral lens, creating a list of what we can and cannot do. When we live that way, we end up trying to do life for Jesus instead of doing life with Jesus. But when we spend time with Him, the lens shifts from moral to redemptive. The more time we spend with Jesus, the more grateful and surrendered we become, and that gratitude leads to a life of generosity. True generosity does not come from guilt or obligation. It comes from living a life with Jesus. We don’t give to get. We give because we already got. God does not need anything from us, but He invites us to be part of what He is doing. Like David, we are reminded that everything we have already belongs to God and that what He really wants is our heart. As we look toward what’s next, the invitation is simple: sit with Him, remember what He has done, and respond with obedience and generosity.
