John Wesley, founder of the Methodist church, wrote this advice concerning money management:

Make as much as you can,
Save as much as you can,
Give away as much as you can.

Let me put it another way: make use of the opportunities and abilities you have; be responsible with what you have; and be generous with what you have.

When God gives us gifts, we should share them. We shouldn’t be greedy. It means giving our money to help others; opening our homes to guests; lending tools to a neighbor and not getting upset when a child accidentally breaks something. It means that we look for every opportunity to give away.

If we are truly appreciative of the things that God has given us, our motto should be, “As we are blessed, let us bless others.”
