We thank you for your heart-felt generosity and sacrifice in giving. God is the ultimate giver who gave the most precious gift imaginable - His Son Jesus - to die on the cross for our sins. Our lives are transformed by the gospel of Christ. When we learn to give generously, it changes us, making us more like our generous Creator. In other words, generosity isn’t something God wants from you, it is something He wants for you.

Scriptures

Psalm 23 (MSG)

^1-3 1-3 God, my shepherd! I don’t need a thing. You have bedded me down in lush meadows, you find me quiet pools to drink from. True to your word, you let me catch my breath and send me in the right direction.

⁴ Even when the way goes through Death Valley, I’m not afraid when you walk at my side. Your trusty shepherd’s crook makes me feel secure.

⁵ You serve me a six-course dinner right in front of my enemies. You revive my drooping head; my cup brims with blessing.

⁶ Your beauty and love chase after me every day of my life. I’m back home in the house of God for the rest of my life.

John 10 (NIV)

²² Then came the Festival of Dedication at Jerusalem. It was winter,

²³ and Jesus was in the temple courts walking in Solomon’s Colonnade.

²⁴ The Jews who were there gathered around him, saying, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.”

²⁵ Jesus answered, “I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify about me,

²⁶ but you do not believe because you are not my sheep.

²⁷ My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

²⁸ I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.

²⁹ My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.

³⁰ I and the Father are one.”

Summer and winter And springtime and harvest Sun moon and stars In their courses above Join with all nature In manifold witness To Thy great faithfulness Mercy and love

Verse 3

Pardon for sin And a peace that endureth Thy own dear presence To cheer and to guide Strength for today And bright hope for tomorrow Blessings all mine With ten thousand beside
