Sometimes when we are asked to live open handed and give it can raise challenging thoughts: “You don’t know what’s going on in my life. You don’t know how much debt I’m in, how little money I have, how we are barely making it by. If you did you wouldn’t ask, but now you are putting me in the awkward position of having to say ‘No’ when I wish I could say yes.” When we are in this situation God knows what is going on in our lives, what we have and what we need, and he has a purpose in putting is there that may be bigger than we realize.
