9. What are the personal blessings and benefits to those practicing Christian stewardship?

God has placed us in the role of stewards for our benefit, not for His! As we consecrate our entire life to Him, we will see an increase in our own spiritual growth and character development. Best of all, we will sense a deeper connection with Jesus as we become increasingly aware of God’s ceaseless giving and ownership of everything. JTL25 11.1

Our giving also helps root out covetousness and selfishness from our lives. We will have increasing compassion and love for others. As we give to and serve others, our own happiness will increase (Acts 20:35). We will find ourselves not just content, but joyful in all circumstances (Philippians 4:11). JTL25 11.2
