Lt General William G. "Jerry" Boykin was the United States Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence under President George W. Bush from 2002 to 2007. During his 36-year career in the military he spent 13 years in the Delta Force, including two years as its commander, and was involved in numerous high-profile missions, including the 1980 Iran hostage rescue attempt, the 1992 hunt for Pablo Escobar in Colombia, and the Black Hawk Down incident in Mogadishu, Somalia.

God wants us to go after Him with all our heart! If we want a heart after God, we must trust God with our treasure. Where our treasure is, there we find our heart. We give not because God needs our money, but because He wants our heart.

Generosity opens our life up to a bigger world and bigger blessings. The more we bless, the more we are blessed. Being a generous giver will result in a life that is much bigger and better than we could ever have imagined!

Any first thing given to God is never lost. When we give to God, we don’t lose what we give; rather, the “tithe" redeems the rest. Tithing is foundational, is given first and takes faith.

Grace made visible is about making what God has done for us known to the world. Generosity is a characteristic of God. For God so loved that he gave. Through lives of generosity we can show the world a God who loves and cares. Generous people make the grace of God tangible.
