Forward Thinking

As you begin a career, you will have more income to manage and will have the opportunity to give larger amounts.

I want to encourage you to purpose in your heart that from the very beginning – starting with the very first paycheck – you will be a faithful, consistent giver. The most fulfilled people I have known are those who have been generous.

There is a great temptation to put off giving with the idea in mind, “I just graduated, I deserve …”

I assure you: If you purpose in your heart to be generous from the very beginning, even if it means a short-term sacrifice, you will spend eternity reaping the blessings for it.
