Harvesting Hope:
The Fruit of
Faithful Giving

ASJUMC Giving

Seeds of Generosity, Eternal Growth

In the dance of life, tithing is like casting seeds into a fertile field. Each seed, a fragment of our own blessings, carries within it the potential to grow, to flourish, and to feed not just one, but many. As we release these seeds from our hands, we acknowledge that the harvest we enjoy is not solely of our own making; it is a shared bounty, nurtured by a greater Gardener.

This act of giving is akin to a river willingly sharing its waters with the parched lands it passes. In its flow, the river does not diminish but finds its purpose, bringing life and sustenance to all it touches. Tithing is this river – a continuous flow of gratitude and recognition that what we have is not ours alone, but a gift to be shared.

It is a symphony where each note, though small, contributes to a grander melody – a melody that sings of hope, faith, and community. Our contributions are notes in this symphony, harmonizing to proclaim that we are not solitary players, but part of a grand orchestra playing under the baton of the Divine Conductor.

By tithing, we plant trees under whose shade we may never sit, yet in whose shelter future generations will find rest and peace. It's a bridge we build, not just for our steps but for the countless feet that will tread upon it in times to come, a testament to our trust in the Architect of our paths.

In this sacred act, we are both gardeners and guardians, sowers and stewards, faithfully tending to a garden we share with the world, believing in the unseen fruits that will one day bloom from these acts of faith and love.
