We were created to love! We know from scripture that loving God means obeying him (John 14:15). It is such a great blessing to know that God has planned for us to be involved in His work and that He wants us to be truly happy.

As stewards, our role is to submit our time, our talent, and our treasure to Him. This tool is designed to help you determine your development in these areas.

Connecting to Scripture: This reflection will assist you in discerning both your heart and God’s heart for giving of yourself holistically and generously. Through prayer, God reveals His will. Take time to listen to how He is inviting you to live out your call to discipleship and His plan to help you become the best version of yourself.
