Just imagine if Bill Gates walked up to you one day and handed you a check for a billion dollars. You could do a ton of noble things with that amount of money. Not to mention buy a condo tower for you, your family, and your friends to live in. But what if you just let that check ride around in your pocket for the rest of your years? Would you still have the benefit of that gift? Theoretically, you’d be rich. But practically, you’d be a billion dollars poorer. When we follow Jesus, he hands us unlimited riches, but we need to cash the check too.
