If you want to get more OUT OF something, you need to get more INTO it.

Romans 12:1-8

God gives all of His gifts by GRACE. We receive them by FAITH.

God's MERCY doesn't automatically produce OBEDIENCE.

Augustine: "Without God, we can't. Without us, God won't."

RELATIONSHIPS are the way lives are CHANGED.

Where is the BEST PLACE for me to BE? HERE.

Hebrews 10:24-25

When we stir up ONE ANOTHER, our PEOPLE are blessed by GOOD WORKS.

Devotional Day 7: JOYFUL and CHEERFUL

2 Corinthians 9:6-8

God loves a CHEERFUL GIVER, because God is a CHEERFUL GIVER first.

JOY grows where GRATITUDE is practiced, FAITHFULNESS is remembered, and IMPACT is made visible.

Action Step: Write a short note to someone on staff or a volunteer who has served you. GRATITUDE grows GENEROSITY.

God is GOOD FOR US, so may we be GOOD FOR PEOPLE.
