He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
—2 Corinthians 9:6

Have you ever heard heavenly music in your sleep? That has happened to me maybe five times in my life where in my sleep I heard music too wonderful to describe. It was music unlike anything I’ve ever heard in this world. I love music in this world, but the music I’ve heard a few times in my sleep is indescribable. 

One time when this happened I was in Zambia, and that particular time I heard these words in the music: “Love big and take out the decimal point.” I felt like the Lord was telling me to love big, give big, and live big. In 2 Corinthians 9:6, Paul says, “He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.”

So I want to encourage you today, beloved one, to trust God—live big, love big, give big, and expect big things from God. You’re more than you think you are. And God wants us to step out of our comfort zone and live in His glory zone. He wants us to take risks. He wants us not to shrink back and try to fit in with the crowd. He wants us not to live in fear. He wants us not to withhold giving to the kingdom because we fear what might happen tomorrow. No, God wants us to trust Him. Give big; love big!
