It's the same with time. He calls you and me to work for Him full time, which is way more than 40 hours a week. He may call someone else to be a nursery worker once a month. Having God as a priority will lead you to give 100% of what He asks you to give.<BR/><BR/>2. I just heard this last week, and I like the way it sounds better. The question shouldn't be, "How much of God's money do I have to give back," but rather, "How much of His money do I get to keep?"Jeff Selphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07127894356503326650noreply@blogger.com
