It's easy to hold tightly to what we have: our time, our homes, our money. Sometimes we hold on because we're afraid there won't be enough. Other times we think, “I worked hard for it, so it’s mine.” In 1 Chronicles 29, King David gives a huge amount toward a temple he will never see built. Then he prays, “All things come from you, and of your own have we given you.” King David knew that everything is a gift from God. We aren’t owners; we are stewards of what God has trusted us with. When we trust the Giver more than the gift, we find freedom and joy in living with open hands.
