I have been born again into the Family of God. I am of the seed of
Abraham, an incorruptible seed, and an heir with Christ of the
entire world.
My royal lineage gives me noble character.
Because all things have been given to me by God, I am free to
give bountifully to others.
My gifts to others are full of spirit, like a generous wine.
I know how to give a gift that is cherished by the receiver and
the giver.
I will not give a gift that will hurt the one who receives it.
I give gifts which require personal sacrifice.
I give the right amount at the right time.
When I am with the envious and niggardly, I am courageously
generous.
I realize that all I have belongs to God and I use it for His
purposes.

love God, to those who are the called according to His
purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be
conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn
among many brethren.
