Give. No matter what the new year brings, give. Give more. Give abundantly. Give gutsy. Give because you already have enough. Give because you could never give as much as Christ did. The Father God, who opened the gate of His kingdom, and gave His Son the quiet nod of ‘yes’, gave it all. So give. And.keep.giving. Even if all you have left is broken, give anyway, because you might find that she’s broken too and needs to see what’s real. Give, because he might be ghastly gaping empty, and you might have the glue that’s hold him back together. Give what is great and what is good, because what is great and what is good is love, and love doesn’t run out, love runs on. So give.
