With the account of Easter morning still fresh in my mind, I have a renewed reverence for all that God has done for and given me. In thankful response, I worship and serve Him, joyfully contributing mites (offerings), and striving to show His love to others. Yet even as I give, God continues to shower me with His bounty.

When I worship, I am filled with new strength; when I serve, I feel a sense of purpose; when I show love to others, I know that very love comes from my Father in heaven. When I give offerings, I am filled with the joy of knowing the Gospel of Jesus Christ will be shared with the lost and needy. And when I sin, I am assured of my forgiveness through the blood of the Lamb. His bounty – His love, His peace, His promises – for you and me. Alleluia!

Because we know that the One who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you to Himself. All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God (2 Corinthians 4:14-15).
