BOLD GENEROSITY – Episode 8: The Gift of Time

"The most generous thing you can give is often the thing you thought you couldn't spare: your time."

BIG IDEA

Time is the one thing you can't make more of, which is exactly what makes it the truest gift. Giving an hour away is giving away a piece of your life.

KEY POINTS

• Numbering your days doesn't make you anxious; it makes you wise (Psalm 90:12).

• Every hour is going somewhere. Spend it or invest it (Ephesians 5:15-16).

• The hour you give to "the least of these" is an hour given to Jesus (Matthew 25:40).

SCRIPTURES

Psalm 90:12 · Ephesians 5:15-16 · Matthew 25:40 · Galatians 6:9-10

TODAY'S CHALLENGE

Give one hour you "can't spare" today to someone who needs it. Sit with them, drive to them, or call and don't rush. Make the time, then make it count.

REFLECT

1. Who has been asking for your time that you keep putting off?

2. If you numbered your days honestly, what would move up your calendar?

PRAY

Lord, teach me to number my days. Show me who needs my time today, and give me the courage to give it away freely.

You're better than yesterday, but not near as good as tomorrow. So make today count.
