Bottomline:

Intro- talk about the sacrifice of moms

We will know we are rooted when we become a reflection of that in which we are rooted to.

2 Corinthians

New Living Translation (Chapter 3)

16 But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.

To be rooted in Christ is to be reflecting Christ.

2 corinthians

The New International Version (Chapter 8)

9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.

An open heart should always lead to open hands.

Generosity is not a thing you do, it’s a way you live.​

2 corinthains 9:6-8

The New International Version (Chapter 9)

6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

We can only receive from God at the rate we give out.

Are You Missing Out On Blessings God has For You By Holding Back From Him?

We give and serve others not just for their sake but ours because it ultimately shapes our hearts in ways other things cannot.

God will provide for every need and equip you for the mission.
