Sometimes, God is going to have you sow a seed. Sometimes, God is going to have you water a seed that someone else sows. Sometimes, God is going to have you reap where others have sowed and watered.

Giving is a responsibility. It is an opportunity. And it is a blessing for every follower of Jesus Christ.
