The Purity of Generosity

Many Christians really do want their lives to bring glory to God before they depart this world and go to heaven. They are very grateful for all that God has given to them. They want their very short journey in this world to count for God, to glorify God, and be of benefit to others. The words of missionary Jim Elliott rings loud and true in their hearts when he said, "He is no fool to give what he cannot keep in order to gain what he cannot lose." Their daily prayer to God is that He would use their lives, in some way, to bring glory to Himself and benefit to those in great need. Maybe their banner verse comes from Matthew 5:16 which says, "Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your father in heaven."
If this is the sort of person you would like to be, then this story is about you. It's about everyone who really, truly, deep in their hearts, want to be used by God to help others in their time of need.
