IMPRESSIONS
What’s funny is how people stress to impress other people and make no attempt to impress God. Are we living this life for others?, or for our Creator? He made us for a specific purpose, and trust me, it is not so we could make others feel bad by flaunting what we’ve got. We were created to lead the lost to Christ. God blesses us so we can be a blessing unto others, not for us to hoard our blessings for ourselves. When we give, we should do so from our hearts. Others will know it’s because we have the hearts of God and they’ll be drawn closer to Him. This is what we’re called to do. This is building up God’s kingdom; our purpose in life. Our giving leaves an impression, a lasting impression; an impression on who matters most…our God.
Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them-not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
1 Peter 5:2-3 (NIV)

Thank you so much for this Inspirational read!
It is so “right on!”
I believe we are to give in every aspect of our life. There are so many ways to give. Physically, Mentally, Emotionally, Spiritually & of course Financially.
Giving is loving. Loving is how God wants us to live.
Walking through each day loving.
Living the Love Walk! I mean REALLY Living the Love Walk Daily!
“But just as you excel in everything – in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in your love for us – see that you also excel in this grace if giving.”
2 Corinthians 8:7
