Resolution 4



   Based on Jonathan Edward's resolutions I have written 25 of my own (Edwards had too many and they were written in old English). I have spent a few years meditating on them and they have been a great help. Maybe they will edify and inspire you. Here is number 4:
I am resolved ...
To endeavour to discover worthy objects in my sphere for charity and liberality. To give cheerfully where I am able - and even occasionally so that it hurts - that I might know that I am no slave to the pursuit of wealth or happiness.

Hebrews 13:5
1 Timothy 6:10; 17-19
Matthew 6:21, 24; 10:42
Proverbs 30:8-9; 19:17
Luke 16:11; 6:38
Acts 20:35
2 Corninthians 9:6
