Last time I talked about my personal “scarcity mentality.”
It’s a weakness, one that leads me to constant suspicion that there is not enough. I know it’s false, even crazy, but it’s one of those things where just knowing doesn’t make it go away.
I want to live with an abundance mentality, with the belief that there’s plenty for everyone because God provides. I know that’s the truth, and I find myself in the position of the man speaking to Jesus.
“I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”
I’m guessing most of us want to live sacrificially, to give generously, because we know it’s what Jesus invites us to do. I’m also guessing not the only one who holds back, who’s a little bit afraid of giving “too much.”
There’s old age, and retirement, and all those plans, all those what if’s…
I’m not gonna provide an answer, because I don’t have one. I’m just glad Jesus doesn’t expect perfection.
The kids at the Home of Hope need me to do the best I can with what I have to keep making a difference for them. So, I will keep trying to do that.
And asking Jesus to help me overcome my unbelief.
