By remaining within the mindset of insufficiency God and grace would always be not enough. Jesus came to change our scarcity mentality into a worldview of absolute abundance. The Gospel is filled with revelations of a world of infinity. We, in fact, have a word for undeserved abundance: “grace.” Our hearts and minds need a conversion to move from an insufficiency model to an abundance model and to live with an attitude of gratitude.
We each have a choice to step back and abandon the mindset of scarcity. When we live in the framework of sufficiency, we discover freedom and completeness. We immerse in life from a sense of our own wholeness rather than a desperate longing to be complete. We feel the compulsion to share the resources that flow through our lives—our time, our money, our wisdom, our energy, at whatever level those resources flow—to serve our highest commitments.
No matter how much or how little money we have flowing through our life, when we direct that flow with soulful purpose, we feel wealthy. We feel vibrant and alive when we use money in a way that represents us, not just as a response to the market economy, but as an expression of who we are.
2 Corinthians 9:8 “And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.”
